The ingredients of defamation are- making or Publishing any imputation concerning any person, such imputation must have been made with the intention to harm with knowledge or having reason to believe that it will harm the reputation of the person concerned. Therefore, the intention to cause harm is the most essential sine qua non of an offence of defamation under section 499 of Indian Penal Code. If you a+can prove this, you can file a suit.
