***** ISSUES
The official twitter account of
Mr. Bipin�s party rubbished this �rumour�, and made a scathing attack on Raw
alleging
that it had got money from the opposition�s lobbyists for running this unconfirmed
story.

Can Raw file a counter defamation case since it's not proven that Raw took money
from the other party?

* Mr.Bipin kept mum when he got to know of the tweet considering the possibility of
negative publicity?Should he have kept mum? Does it make him liable?

**Section 200 in CRPC.

**
499- fine, apply it.
500-apply it.
Doubt with sec 500/34-what the heck is this 34?

**

first they meet Ms Batya at the hotel,then in the evening proceed to the clinic for
a regular health check-up,
only DR.Sartaj,no paper work in the fear of the negative publicity aspect.
*Isn't it illegal on the part of the hospital to allow a checkup without paperwork?

*There's an anomaly in the description of the time by Mr. Majid(9:45) and the
guard(10:30).

*
during the wedding which was to happen soon-If there is negative publicity,there
might have been some complications as the negative publicity would have been
because of her checkup which could have sensationalised by the media as being a
pregnancy test.

*case of wrong statement recorded by the police.

*exception 1 to sec 499 ipc is not applicable here as according to it :-


First Exception.�Imputation of truth which public good requires to be made or
published.�It is not defamation to impute anything which is TRUE concerning any
person,
if it be for the public good that the imputation should be made or published.
Whether or not it is for the public good is a question of fact.
It isn't established as truth that Mr. Bipin had indulged in the practice of
getting a virginity test done.
