Stay in defamation
6 months ago
I am DV victim and many a times i requested my apartment people to intervene in my matter as they know my inlaws for 30 years. Every time they declined my request saying they don't want to spoil the relations with them since they are living together in society for 30 years. On 25th oct. 21, when my husband tried to strangulate me, i wrote a complaint to police and CAW cell. I shared my grievances with apartment secy being an elder and shared same complaint letter in good faith to get help to save my marriage and to speak to my MIL and husband to treat me properly, but he refused taking it by hand on 29th oct. 21, saying it as personal matter and advised me to post the letter. The letter was posted to secy. No derogatory language was used in letter. Then i filed DV and FIR against my husband. My husband got to know about this letter on 14 nov. 2021. He now filed defamation case against me to put pressure on me and brought 3 witness of the apartment which judge allows to proceed the case. How can i get stay? Is there any judgement in my favor? Can telling the grievances a defamation?
Defamation refers to the act of making false statements that harm someone's reputation. If your letter contained factual information about the incidents and did not include any false accusations or statements, it might not be considered defamation and Given that you are a victim of domestic violence, you may have legal protection under the Domestic Violence Act. It is essential to present evidence of the violence you have experienced to support your case.
