There is limitation for filing a criminal complaint of defamation as also for suit for damages.

You need to ascertain starting point of limitation as per the facts and circumstances of the case.

There is a proposition to the effect that on every publication of defamatory, there is a fresh cause of action.

Be guided by your lawyer in know of all the facts and circumstances for proper advice.
