Defamation by spreading wrong information in Central Govt Office
1 year ago
Suppose my boss (Grp A gazetted rank) brought my personal issue with my family man in official letter and falsely claimed that I have complained against that family member and communicated such false information to higher authority of a Central Govt organization, then would it come under defamation?
If yes, can I file case against him directly in court Or I need to take permission from higher authority for that?
A.Dear Sir,
Yes, you can file but at your risk.
===============================================
1) Defamation cases are of two types, criminal and civil.
2) In Civil defamation, a mala fide intention to defame is not always necessary. If defamation is caused, thenbsuit lies. Court fees are required to be paid as per value of damages caused to reputation.
3) Criminal defamation must, in addition, contain some deliberate malice or malafide intention, to cause damage to reputation of someone.
Here, court fees are NOT required at The level of a civil case.
At the end of case, court punishes offender if defamation is proved.
3) In civil defamation case, at end of case, court awards damages to compensate loss to reputation if defamation is proved.
