Procedure and details about defamation
4 years ago
Kindly let me know the step by step procedure for filing a defamation case against people who spread defamatory things against me, damaging my reputation.
Also mention amount to be claimed and if it has any basis to calculate. How much should this cost to me including lawyers and court fees.
Can this be a civil or criminal case and which would me more harsh on the people spreading wrong things?
A.Dear Sir,
You can file both civil and criminal defamation cases but if you file civil case you have to pay Court fee about 7% of claimed amount and there is no limit to claim any amount. The procedure is as follows:
=============================================================================
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.
