This query is : Resolved
As per constituional law, any person outside the parliament house or any third person outside the parliament house is barred from publishing any proceedings of the house in a defamatory manner (be it the facts of the proceedings), however in law of crimes, an accused has a defence available to him to publish any defamatory proceedings in the interest of the public.
Please clerify the above two points...

No such conclusions are possible.
It will depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case.
Further more, 'what is in the public interest' in itself would be a big question.
To give an example, let me state, that even the Newspapers, whenever confronted by this sort of situation, always consult the legal experts by disclosing the facts and materials available, and whether their act of publishing would attract any legal issue or not.
Therefore, without knowing the full facts and circumstances, it will not be possible to draw any definite conclusions as contained in the query.

Defamatory statement can not be issued in the public interest.

there can be only one defense to defamation and that is truth.. defamatory manner itself contains manipulation of facts... and Yes defamatory statements can be issued in public interest but that larger interest has to be proved along with no ill-will against any particular person
