Dear Client,
Any person who feels his/her reputation has been damaged by defamatory statements can sue for defamation under Section 356 of BNS, which replaced Section 499 of IPC. The grounds for a defamation case include 1) A defamatory statement that has been made against a person, either written (libel) or spoken (slander), and 2) the statement was published or communicated to a third party. 3) The statement caused harm to his/her reputation, 4) There is no valid defense or justification for the defamatory statement. Defamation is a civil wrong where the individual rights of a person are infringed. For civil defamation, a complaint is filed in a civil court, and the remedy sought is usually damages. If required, consult with an experienced Advocate for tailored advice on the matter.
