In this video, NIYATI IAS provides a comprehensive breakdown of Defamation Law (मानहानि) in India. We explore how the laws have transitioned from the old IPC (Sections 499 & 500) to the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 356.

​📌 What You Will Learn:

​Definition of Defamation: Understanding how words (spoken or written), signs, and visible representations (memes/images) can lead to legal action [01:20].

​New Legal Provisions: Deep dive into Section 356 of the BNS and what has changed [00:52].

​Key Explanations: Can you defame a deceased person? Can a company or association file a case? Does "just joking" (sarcasm) count as a defense? [02:55].

​Civil vs. Criminal Defamation: The difference between seeking compensation (Law of Torts) and seeking punishment (Jail/Fine) [04:17].

​10 Legal Exceptions: When is speaking the truth NOT defamation? (Public good, honest reviews of public servants, court reports, etc.) [05:33].

​Freedom of Speech vs. Right to Reputation: Balancing Article 19(1)(a) with Article 21 of the Indian Constitution [08:20].

​Landmark Judgments: Insights into Subramanian Swamy vs. Union of India and Chaman Lal vs. State of Punjab [09:32].

​Punishment: Details on simple imprisonment (up to 2 years), fines, and the new provision for Community Service [10:59].

​⚖️ Essential Legal Maxim:
​"Your freedom ends where another person's right to reputation begins." Think before you speak, and think twice before you post!
