Prayer

Reputation is an absent to each and everyone.Any damage to such

asset can be legelly dealt with defemation of law enaeted to prvent

person maliciously using their right to freedom of speech and

expression. The defamation law is also Constitutional and is reasonable

restriction on the right to free speech and expresson.However, it is no

defamation if the acts done fall within the expections provided.The


court has to interpret eah and every case will almost care they serve as

precedents. On par with these citation,the political leader Rajeesh’s

challenges with the law oxay order to be restricted and prays his

petition may also be dismissed.

To pass other further orders as your lordship may deemfit and proper

in the feets and circumstances of the instant case in the interst of
