CONCERNS AND RISKS
 By taking action against an individual, the
business risks being perceived as a bully out to
stifle any criticism
 The defendant may file a counterclaim
 Even if the lawsuit succeeds, an individual
defendant will likely lack the resources to pay a
judgment of any significance
SMC Pneumatics (India) Pvt. Ltd.
v. Jogesh Kwatra
In India's first case of cyber defamation, a Court of
Delhi assumed jurisdiction over a matter where a
corporate’s reputation was being defamed
through emails and passed an important ex-parte
injunction
State of Tamil Nadu Vs Suhas Katti
 The case related to posting of obscene,
defamatory and annoying message about a
divorcee woman in the yahoo message group.
 E-Mails were also forwarded to the victim for
information by the accused through a false e-mail
account opened by him in the name of the victim.
CELEBRTIY CYBER DEFAMATION
CASES
 Celebrities generate significant public attention
and discussion
 Defamation law is clear that individuals are held
to the same standard for what they say online as
offline, but as of yet there have been no known
lawsuits that have proceeded through the legal
system for online libel
Courtney Love
 v/s Dawn Simorangkir
 v/s Rhonda Holmes
CONCLUSION
 Success in any field of human activity leads to
crime that needs mechanisms to control it
 Cyber space creates moral, civil and criminal
wrongs
 Courts are wise to be mindful of the precedential
effects of any rulings they make, so as to not
provide incentive for individuals to file petty
lawsuits in the hopes of obtaining a large
judgment
