Defamation Law Basics: Understanding Slander and Libel in the Indian Perspective

Author(s) Sourav Kumar, Amalendu Mishra
Country India
Abstract Defamation law in India addresses the protection of people's reputations against false and harmful statements, balancing this with the right to freedom of expression. This article explores the distinctions between slander (spoken defamation) and slander (written or published defamation), and the legal
frameworks governing civil and criminal defamation in India. Examines the essential elements of defamation, such as falsehood, publication, harm and fault, and outlines key defences such as truth, good faith, public interest and privilege. Notable cases such as Subramanian Swamy v. Union of India and
Rajagopal v. State of Tamil Nadu illustrate the judicial approach to defamation. The article also analyzes the impact of digital communication on defamation, addressing online defamation, jurisdictional challenges and the liability of intermediaries. Compares India's defamation law with that of other jurisdictions, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, highlighting emerging trends such as digital defamation, the role of AI in content moderation and the importance of international cooperation. Ultimately, the article highlights the need for balanced defamation laws that protect
reputations while promoting freedom of expression in a rapidly evolving communications landscape.
