PM Modi Interview: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court dismissed a defamation suit filed by the New Indian Express against Rohan Dua and Sanjay Sharma for allegedly defaming the newspaper. The court ruled that the suit lacked merit and was based on insufficient evidence. The New Indian Express had claimed that the defendants made defamatory statements affecting its reputation. However, the court found that the statements were either opinions or criticisms protected by freedom of speech and did not amount to defamation. The decision underscores the need for substantial evidence to support defamation claims and highlights the protection afforded to free expression under Indian law
