Asif Faruk Kadawala vs The State By on 20 April, 2021
14. The learned counsel in support of his arguments,
relied upon the order passed by the Kerala High Court in
Crl.M.C.No.534/2016 in the case of Dr. Joy Anto v. C.R. Jaison
and another decided on 10.03.2021, and brought to the notice
of this Court paragraph No.18, wherein, it is observed that, if the
pleadings filed in the court contain defamatory statements, it
amounts to publication. Once a statement is filed in a Court of
law, it can be considered as published. Hence, he cannot
contend that the same is not published.
