There is no such a time in law for filing a case after defamation against someone but the earlier is the better. But in order to file such a case the alligation should have been published in some way so that it must have come to the notice of others known to you.

Respected, You can file the defamation case against the such person only if the alligation against is nullified. Untill other wise you cant file the case of defmation against the such person. For your kind infomration, merely making alligation of adultery against some person will not constutte the officen untill other wise he is the party to the above proceeding and the law says, if adultrate is not made as party to the said divorce petition and only the allligation is made out in the pleading, then the suit can be dimissed. Whether you are party to the said divorce petiion is not mentioend but the meter alligation will not constitue the offence. In case, in the trial if no alligation is proced, then you can file the defamdation case against the petitioner. Please wait for judgment to proceed further

Dear Sir, First thing no police complaint under Section 498 of IPC filed against you. Further, you are not arrayed as a Respondent in Divorce case. As such you can reply strongly to that legal notice claiming huge compensation for false allegations thereafter you can file civil and criminal defamation cases against him. He may come for mutual divorce with your girl friend.
