Sir,
For and on behalf of my clients Shri Babloo Prasad, s s/o Chulbul Prasad, r/o 66/C,

running in six figures, recently divorced on mutual terms with a schizophrenic girl, no
issue, owns posh house, 4 cars, only son seeks extremely beautiful unmarried
extrovert girl preferably 23-25 years old from a high-status family.
Contact No. +91 (0)11-26058704.
3. That not only each word of the advertisement offensive, false frivolous. It is stated
that you, Addressee 1 and 2 published the above advertisement to frame an
innocent girl.
4. That addressee 1 and 2 have been successful in the misdemeanor and the relatives
of my clients have been inquiring about her mental health, thereby bringing down
her reputation.
 5. That my clients are also apprehending more aggressive and hurtful attacks on their
reputation and goodwill. The magnitude of the harm is unimaginable and cannot be
gauged.
6. That so far as editor and publisher are concerned make it manifest that you are
liable for this misadventure, by publishing this advertisement which is defamatory in
nature. You have not inquired into the correctness of aspersions acted against my

defamation, both civil and criminal in nature and inter alia this may give rise to a
claim of deficiency in service and unfair trade practices and any other statute as
applicable.
