DID YOU KNOW that “general remarks” made about any person would not be sufficient to meet the requirements of the criminal offence of defamation.
DID YOU ALSO KNOW that our office successfully represented a client before Supreme Court of India in a Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court’s order refusing to quash criminal proceedings against our client under Section 499 and 500 of the IPC. The Supreme Court subsequently quashed the criminal proceedings against our client after finding that there were no specific allegations made against our client in the original complaint. Further, it noted that no specific defamatory statements can be attributed to our client and an offence of criminal defamation cannot be made out on general remarks made by any person.
