Slander in court proceedings

Slander in Court Proceedings

In a Court Proceeding, the respondent uses words like “Crooked”, “Cunning”, etc and phrases like “The plaintiff keeps roaming in the Court for the whole day” against the plaintiff, instead of replying to the issues in question

Well, when parties make allegations during a court case, you definitely must object to it, but no civil or criminal action can be taken immediately. The logic behind this is, if parties are allowed to take action, the Courts would be flooded with such cases than any real substantial issue of dispute.
