hi,
i have a query that can a person/citizen file a criminal complaint against a person who defamed state govt. on social media?
No . You cannot. Police will take action if a person speaks against govt. Defamation is the act of communicating to a third party false statements about a person, place, or thing that results in damage to its reputation. It can be spoken (slander) or written (libel). It constitutes a tort or a crime.
