Can a defamation case be filed based on changes in allegations in dv case which were not present in original 498 a complaint for same time period. Based on contradiction in dv complaint and 498a..can defamation be filed ?
Do seek a detailed legal Consultation from a lawyer having expertise in matrimonial cases. Defamation cannot be filed and Would not be prudent at This point in time. However an reply needs to be filed and highlighted to the Court.

Yes...you can always file a defamation complaint under section 356 BNS if there's a contradiction between the statements filed by the opposite party. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship it's always better to apply for mutual divorce.

No defamation can't be filed in such a case as court will consider it to be matter sub judice . Instead a better option shall be to file perjury based on the false submission of Affidavit in court. You can get in touch for more details

Necessarily no. But once you are free from the case, you can definitely file a suit for malicious prosecution seeking damages ans in the alternative a criminal complaint seeking registration of the charges for giving false statements before the court which is a punishable offense.
