Sample petition for defamation 499 & 500

You can browse www.legalformat.in for your required formats.

You can take the help of an advocate who will help you draft one suiting the legal requirments.

In India law of torts and damage sis very poor and not developed neither courts arefree and serious to deal with. Daily people file false affidavit and commit perjury in courts. Do the magistraes/judges  recomemedn prosecution under 198 IPC or whatever it is? None.

If some one lies in court it is not considered and so you get justice anyway.

Please dont waste your time in all this and try to settle yourself  and keep clear of more problems.

Many lawyerswill tell ypou to file multiple cases. India has endless litigation chainnel. Only you will loose a few lacs of money and mental peace .Our legal system is horrible and should be used for defensive action and urgent reliefs. Beyond this dont expect Indian courts to deliever.

WE can easily call Indian justice as law of bails and affidavits.

If our justice system were good , majority of politcial leaders would be languishing in Jails
