Can chairman file defamation case for creating watsapp society group
31-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
We are a member of a cooperative housing society with close to 700 members. The flats are still under construction and long time awaited. The current mgmt has been increasing the cost day by day without providing all details on the website. To question the management on relevant issues, and to understand the reasons for charging high-cost, 200 of us created a whats-app group. Now, to counter that the Chairman has filed a defamation case against several of our members alleging that we are maligning them on Whatsapp. We have raised our queries earlier through email, but haven't got any reply.
You have to explain the particular statement which according to the chairman is defamatory in nature. If the statement is about something which is true then you don't have to worry otherwise he can file the defamation case against them.

Hello sir!
No one can bar anyone from filing any case against anyone. The main thing is that here lies the burden of proof on the person who alleges that he has been defamed. He has to prove this that how he has been defamed on whatsapp.
