Defamation caused by wrong information spread
21-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I want to file a defamation case against people who spread wrong things against me. Whether I should file a criminal case or a civil case? Or should I first file a criminal case and after that a civil case one after other?
What I the right way to proceed in this matter?
In India, defamation is both civil and criminal offence. The remedy for civil defamation is covered under the Law of Torts. In a civil defamation case, a person who is defamed can move either High Court or subordinate courts and seek damages in the form of monetary compensation from the accused. Also, under sections 499 and 500 of the IPC, a person guilty of criminal defamation can be sent to jail for two years.
