Dear,

You can file a defamation case against your wife only if you are acquitted in the Section 498 A IPC case. Let the case be decided in your favor. Once the case is dismissed and you are acquitted from the trumped up charges, you can immediately file criminal as well as civil defamation case against your wife.
