Moot Defamation1
Ms. mondal like any other citizen of India is having the right of reputation;the
reputation is one of the most important assets of human. As it is stated by Jurist
Blackstone "Every man is entitled to have his reputation preserved
inviolated".A man's reputation is his property. Depending upon perception of that
man ,reputation is more valuable to him than any other property.It is also said that
right of reputation is included under the right to life,granted by Article 21 of the
constitution.
In the instant case also Ms. Mondal and the Windu's who created and running the
organisation 'ponam' with their years of hard work, perseverance and
brilliance,but Ms. juliet abused the whole society and has also insulted Ms.
Mondal by saying that she is an unprincipled swine masquerading as leader.
As according to the facts given,Ms. Juliet has done deliberate and malicious
acts,intended to outrage religious feelings of class by insulting its religion.
Freedom of expression gives you the right to hold you own opinion and to express
them freely without interference ,although you have freedom of expression you
also have a duty to behave reponsibly and to respect other people's rights.
In this case ,Ms. Juliet's statement was "Disgusting windu's roaches being led
by an unprincipled swine masquerading as a leader" which is ofcourse a
defamatory statement as the words like 'disgusting windu's' , 'roaches' ,
unprincipled swine' are not at all ethically accepted.
