Criminal defamation
2 years ago
One person filed a false case against me under SC&ST(Atrocities act). The court disposed off the case noting that the case was false. I want to file complaint under section 182,211 and 500 IPC 1860. Please tell me the detailed process of how to proceed?
A.Dear Client,
In Civil defamation you can file a suit and don’t neet to prove mala fide intentions. In criminal defamation you need to prove mala fide intentions of the accused and the court may punish the offender as it deems fit.
