A legal complaint against Tusitha Halloluwa focuses on alleged defamatory statements harming President Dissanayake’s reputation. The case highlights legal measures under Sri Lanka’s Online Safety Act of 2024 against misinformation.

Defamation Case Targets Statement on President Dissanayake

A complaint was filed over purported defamatory statements linked to President Dissanayake, involving former National Lotteries Board executive Tusitha Halloluwa. Investigations under the Online Safety Act emphasize the fight against misinformation.

Defamatory comment on Sri Lanka head sparks FIR

A legal complaint targets Tusitha Halloluwa for allegedly defamatory statements about President Dissanayake.

A complaint has been filed with the Sri Lankan police over an allegedly "false and defamatory" statement made using President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's name, his office said on Monday. His lawyers lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department on Sunday against Tusitha Halloluwa, the President's Media Division (PMD) said in a statement.
Halloluwa served as the executive director of the National Lotteries Board and the director general of public relations during former president Ranil Wickremesinghe's administration.
&ldquo;The statement in question made using President Dissanayake&rsquo;s name is alleged to be severely damaging to his reputation and character," the statement said, calling it "defamatory and false".
The office said it requests an immediate investigation against Halloluwa as well as social media activists who disseminated the statement online. The PMD did not give details of the alleged defamatory statement.
"It calls for legal action against those responsible for spreading misinformation and tarnishing the president&rsquo;s image," said the statement.
Sri Lankan laws do not permit prosecution for criminal defamation.
Analysts say the action is being sought under the Online Safety Act of 2024, which Dissanayake&rsquo;s party, which was then in opposition, had opposed.

The defamation case against Rahul Gandhi has been deferred again due to a witness absence, with the next hearing set for April 28.

Rahul Gandhi's Defamation Hearing Postponed Again

Due to a key witness's absence, the defamation hearing involving Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is postponed to April 28 in Rae Bareli.

Hearing of Rahul Gandhi's defamation case delayed due to witness's absence; next date set for April 28.

A special court on Tuesday deferred the hearing over a defamation case against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi after a witness from the complainant's side did not depose in court.
The special MP-MLA court fixed April 28 as the next date of hearing, according to a lawyer in the case.
Gandhi's lawyer, Kashi Prasad Shukla, said, "The hearing was scheduled to take place today, but no action could be taken as the witness from the complainant's side was not produced. The court has fixed April 28 as the next date of hearing." The previous hearing in the case took place on April 3.
Complainant's lawyer Santosh Kumar Pandey said a witness was supposed to testify on Tuesday.
"The witness had come to court but could not record the statement due to ill health. Upon my request, the judge set April 28 as the next hearing date," he added.
The case dates back to 2018, when local BJP politician Vijay Mishra filed a defamation suit over Gandhi's alleged objectionable remarks against BJP leader Amit Shah during the Karnataka assembly elections.
After five years of legal proceedings, the court issued a warrant against Gandhi in December 2023.
The Rae Bareli MP surrendered before the court in February 2024, and was granted bail on two sureties of Rs 25,000 each by the special magistrate. On July 26, he recorded his statement before the court, claiming innocence and calling the case a political conspiracy.
Earlier this year, multiple hearings were postponed due to a strike by lawyers and the ill health of Gandhi's counsel.
On February 11, Gandhi's lawyer Shukla completed the cross-examination of the complainant.

Shashi Tharoor faces a defamation lawsuit from Rajeev Chandrasekhar, amounting to ₹10 crore, tied to election bribery allegations impacting the Lok Sabha electoral outcomes.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar files ₹10 crore defamation suit against Shashi Tharoor over bribery allegations

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is embroiled in a ₹10 crore defamation suit filed by BJP's Rajeev Chandrasekhar, over allegations of vote-buying during the Lok Sabha elections, a claim compromising Chandrasekhar's reputation and electoral potential.

Shashi Tharoor is facing a ₹10 crore defamation suit from Rajeev Chandrasekhar over election bribery allegations. The case is filed in Delhi High Court and affects Chandrasekhar&rsquo;s election outcomes.

Delhi High Court issues notice to Congress MP Tharoor; Chandrasekhar claims allegations impacted his reputation and election outcome.
Former Union Minister and BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar has filed a ₹10 crore defamation suit against Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in the Delhi High Court, accusing him of tarnishing his reputation with bribery allegations during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
&nbsp;Delhi High Court Issues Notice to Tharoor
The case was heard on Monday, with Justice Purushanindra Kumar Kaurav issuing a notice to Tharoor and directing him to submit his response. The matter has been scheduled for its next hearing before the joint registrar on April 28.
Defamation Allegations Stemming from Lok Sabha Polls
The defamation suit stems from statements made by Tharoor during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where he accused Chandrasekhar of bribing voters in Thiruvananthapuram. Tharoor won the closely contested seat by a margin of 16,077 votes, defeating Chandrasekhar.
Chandrasekhar: Allegations Damaged Reputation &amp; Political Career
Responding to Tharoor&rsquo;s claims, Chandrasekhar vowed legal action, writing on X (formerly Twitter) in April:
"Shashi Tharoor should disclose to whom I gave money. With his baseless allegations, he has also damaged the reputation of religious and community organizations in the capital."
He further added:
"Rest assured, I will ensure that this slander is countered using all legal means. It&rsquo;s disgraceful to see a three-time MP stooping to third-rate politics in his desperation."
Legal Arguments: Suit Claims &lsquo;Irreversible Damage&rsquo; to Reputation
 The suit alleges that Tharoor&rsquo;s statements were defamatory, stating:
&nbsp;"The publications disparage and denigrate the reputation of the Plaintiff (Chandrasekhar), lowering his esteem in the eyes of the general public."
 &nbsp;"This is a clear case of a malafide approach by the Defendant (Tharoor), causing an irreversible impact on the Plaintiff&rsquo;s political career."
 &nbsp;"Tharoor&rsquo;s false accusations directly contributed to the Plaintiff&rsquo;s narrow defeat in Thiruvananthapuram."
&nbsp;Legal Representation &amp; Court Proceedings
Chandrasekhar is represented by senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar, with legal support from Karanjawala and Company.
The case now awaits Tharoor&rsquo;s response as the legal battle over defamation unfolds in the Delhi High Court.

Former Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain has filed a defamation suit against BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj, accusing her of making defamatory remarks in a television interview. The Rouse Avenue Court is scheduled to hear the complaint today.
Jain alleges that Swaraj, during her interview on October 5, 2023, falsely claimed that ₹3 crore, 1.8 kilograms of gold, and 133 gold coins were recovered from his residence. He contends that these allegations were entirely baseless and politically motivated to damage his reputation.
Furthermore, Jain claims that Swaraj's accusations of him being "corrupt" and "fraudulent" were malicious and caused significant harm to his personal and professional standing. He asserts that the false statements have not only tarnished his image as a public representative but also affected his reputation within his family and society.

In the tweet dated 15 February 2018, Khushbu had said that 'Modi surname should be redefined as corruption'.
Several Congress social media accounts shared the screenshot of the tweet after Rahul's conviction and questioned whether the BJP will file a case against their own party member.
Khushbu Sundar meanwhile has hit back at the Congress saying that 'raking up an old tweet of her shows the party's desperation'.&nbsp;

Arvind Kejriwal backs Rahul Gandhi in defamation case, alleges conspiracy against non-BJP leaders

The Congress and the AAP have in the past avoided taking each other's side on various issues.

&nbsp;Showing a shift in its stance, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday openly supported Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he was sentenced to two years in jail in a defamation case and alleged a conspiracy was being hatched to "eliminate" non-BJP leaders and parties by prosecuting them.
The Congress and the AAP have in the past avoided taking each other's side on various issues.
The grand old party did not support AAP when Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22
However, AAP's support for Gandhi has come at a time when Kejriwal is learnt to be attempting to forge an alliance of "like-minded" parties ahead of the Lok Sabha polls next year. Earlier this month, he had invited chief ministers of eight non-BJP, non-Congress ruled states for dinner and discussion over political issues.

Congress to challenge Surat court's verdict against Rahul Gandhi

he Congress on Thursday dubbed the conviction of Rahul Gandhi by a Surat court in a defamation case as an "infirm, erroneous and unsustainable judgement" that will be immediately challenged in a higher court and expressed hope that it will be stayed and quashed soon.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the Gujarat trial court has given a 170-page judgement which is still subject to translation and the party is working towards filing an appeal against it in a higher court.
Singhvi said the Congress has faith in the judiciary and will seek legal recourse to the Surat court verdict and get relief, while noting that even though this judgement is "erroneous", in-built corrective measures exist within the judicial system and "we will certainly invoke them".

Speaking to reporters in the national capital, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "does believing in truth and non-violence mean humiliating people?"
He further said that as per Indian Law if an individual or an organisation has been defamed with scandalous comments, or defamatory remarks then they have a right to seek redressal. But Congress wants complete freedom for Rahul Gandhi to hurl abuses.&nbsp;

In September 2013, Rahul Gandhi, then Vice-President of the Congress, stunned reporters and his own party members by publicly tearing into an ordinance introduced by his own government.&nbsp;
The ordinance - granting protection to lawmakers from immediate disqualification if they are jailed for 2 years or more. The Congress was trying to bring back a provision of the Representation of the People Act that would prevent MPs or MLAs from being disqualified for 3 months. The provision had been struck down by the Supreme Court in July of 2013.&nbsp;

Gandhi had allegedly linked the surname Modi to thieves during an election rally in Karnataka's Kolar in 2019

Rahul Gandhi in Surat, 'Modi surname' defamation case verdict today

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in Surat as a city court is expected to deliver its verdict in a 2019 criminal defamation case filed against him. 

Gandhi had allegedly linked the surname Modi to thieves during an election rally in Karnataka's Kolar in 2019

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will appear before a court in Gujarat's Surat city on Thursday when it is expected to deliver its verdict in a 2019 criminal defamation case filed against him over his "Modi surname" remarks, party leaders said on Wednesday.
The case was filed against Gandhi for his alleged &ldquo;how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?&rdquo; remarks on a complaint lodged by BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi. The Lok Sabha MP from Wayanad made the alleged remarks while addressing a rally at Kolar in Karnataka ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
This will be the former Congress president's first visit to Gujarat after the conclusion of his Bharat Jodo Yatra in January.
Gandhi was in Gujarat last to campaign for the Congress for the December 2022 Assembly elections. The party won just 17 out of the total 182 seats, its worst poll performance since the formation of the state in 1960.

He had last appeared before the Surat court in the case, filed under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 499 and 500 (dealing with defamation), in October 2021 to record his statement. Before that, the Congress MP had appeared in the court to plead not guilty to charges levelled against him.
In his complaint, BJP MLA Purnesh Modi alleged that Gandhi, while addressing the poll rally in 2019, defamed the entire Modi community by purportedly saying, "How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?" Modi was a minister in the first tenure of the Bhupendra Patel government. The ruling party legislator was re-elected from the Surat West Assembly seat in the December elections.
The final arguments resumed in the case last month after the Gujarat High Court vacated its stay on proceedings imposed on plea by the complainant demanding Gandhi's personal appearance.
The lawyer for the complainant argued that CDs and pen drive containing the materials on Gandhi's Kolar speech established that the Congress MP indeed made the Modi surname remarks, and his utterances defamed the community.
Gandhi's lawyer has argued that the court proceedings were "flawed" from the beginning as procedure laid down under section 202 of the CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure) was not followed. The CrPC section deals with postponement of issue of process.
The lawyer also argued that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and not MLA Purnesh Modi, should have been the complainant in the case because the PM was the main target of Gandhi's speech.

Johnny Depp takes the court route again; to appeal against Amber Heard's $2M Trial Win

Johnny Depp filed a 44-page appellate brief appealing the verdict of the defamation battle against his ex-wife and actress Amber Heard

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's highly-publicised defamation trial ended in May in favour of the former. Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, while Heard was awarded $2 million in favour of a defamation countersuit.
Now, Johnny Depp has appealed against his former wife's solo win, submitting a 44-page appellate brief. According to the court documents published online by Law and Crime network, the 'trial court was confronted with a number of novel and complex legal and factual issues, and although the trial court decided the vast majority of those issues sensibly and correctly, a few rulings were erroneous.'
Depp's notice comes a day after Heard filed an appeal to nullify the verdict ordering her to pay $10 million.
The couple had tied the knot in 2015 and got divorced in 2017. Depp had filed a $50 million defamation case against Amber Heard for her 2018 Washington Post op-ed, in which she claimed to be the victim of domestic abuse.
One the work front, Depp will next feature in the French movio 'La Favorite'. He will also direct 'Modigliani', a film about Amedeo Modigliani, which he will co-produce alongside Al Pacino and Barry Navidi.&nbsp;
