"In legal terms, ‘defamation’ refers to an offence of intentionally harming or injuring a person’s reputation, fame or character by means of either spoken or written mode of communication. The law considers a person’s reputation, their valuable property and intentionally bringing harm to them through false accusations as a crime. With the help of this law, the court tries to balance the fine line between freedom of expression and harmful speech. The tort of defamation is what is responsible for defending this right where people are encouraged and given the strength to ask for compensation against another who defames them. The PPT speaks about the legal term that is ‘defamation’ and also helps the reader understand every aspect of it thoroughly. From its primary essentials to its significance, no stone is left unturned. Happy learning!"
