Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

I have a media interview on how I won my 498a (acquitted on benefit of doubt) and other case of divorce in the High court judgement which says:

"The appellant(me) has also agreed to give a decree of divorce to the respondent(ex-wife) provided that the allegations made against him are withdrawn by the respondent on the ground that the said allegations are baseless and unfounded"

Can quoting the names of the appellant and respondent and quoting the sentences in my judgement available on the High court of Karnataka website to the media who wants to do a program on awareness of the misuse be used to file defamation on me?

No one is going to file a defamation case against you. Relax.

May be. Mere use of words is not the sole criteria and attending circumstances also considered by court for prima facie finding out intention.
