HC awards ₹1.1 cr damages to EPS in defamation case
The Morning Standard
|November 08, 2024
EXPRESSING concern over character assassination of individuals on social media with no restriction, the Madras High Court on Thursday ordered Dhanapal, brother of the prime accused Kanagaraj (deceased) in the Kodanad heist-cum-murder case, to pay ₹1.1 crore as damages to Edappadi K Palaniswami for linking the AIADMK general secretary with the crime.
Justice RMT Teekaa Raman passed the order on a defamation suit filed by Palaniswami against Dhanapal and granted a permanent injunction restraining him from making defamatory statements in the future. "It is a sorry state of affairs that in the age of social media, desecration of the reputation of public figures has become child's play. Anyone can open a social media account and post messages; thousands of likes and dislikes are received; however, in the process, the reputation of the man who is targeted becomes, sadly, mud," the judge said.
