Defamation
The Constitution of India in its Article 21 has given reputation, fame, and recognition in public life an integral position in a citizen’s fundamental rights.
There are two types of defamation as recognized by the law:
- Libel, which is a published or written defamatory statement, such as a statement in magazine, print media, newspaper, etc.
- Slander, which is a verbal defamatory statement, such as that said on television, in a public gathering, etc.
Benefits to choose service
When somebody defames you in public, print, or verbally in front of others, you have the right to sue that person. A legal service can help you carry out the legal proceedings in a correct manner. On the other hand, if you are accused of defamation, in this case too, a legal service can help to defend you and guide you in the best legal discourse so that your rights are protected and justice prevails.
