Calling a person corrupt is per se defamatory, can't be justified under freedom of speech: Himachal Pradesh High Court
The Court ordered that BJP's Surat Negi be summoned for defamation for calling Congress leader and State Revenue Minister Jagat Negi corrupt.
The Himachal Pradesh High Court recently observed that no person has the right to call someone corrupt as long as the offence of defamation exists on the statute books [Jagat Singh Negi v. Surat Singh Negi].
