Dr. Chandra Prakash vs Shri.Aniruddha Bahal & Others on 29 February, 2020
49. The learned counsel for the defendant No. 1 further submitted
that the plaintiff has failed to prove any of the essential ingredients to
show that he has been defamed by the defendant No. 1. The learned
counsel for the defendant No. 1 further submitted that not only the
plaintiff has failed to prove that he is a man of high standing but also
how his reputation has been lowered on account of the purported
impugned video. The learned counsel for the defendant No. 1 further
Page No. 33/107
submitted that neither any award of medals, gallantry awards and/or
citations have been brought on record by the plaintiff, thus the
plaintiff's claim of having being defamed by the defendant No. 1 are
hollow. The learned counsel further submitted that neither of the
plaintiff's colleagues nor his juniors, staff or officers who have served
under him have stepped in the witness box to vouch for his reputation.
The learned counsel to buttress his submission placed reliance upon the
law report of Bhubhan Chandra v. Buddhiam 13 and Ram Subhag
Pandey v. State.14
