    Dear Sir, 1) DEFAMATION CASES ARE OF TWO TYPES, CRIMINAL AND CIVIL. 2) In Civil defamation, a mala fide intention to defame is not always necessary. If defamation is caused, thenbsuit lies. Court fees are required to be paid as per value of damages caused to reputation. 3) Criminal defamation must, in addition, contain some deliberate malice or malafide intention, to cause damage to reputation of someone. Here, court fees are NOT required at The level of a civil case. At the end of case, court punishes offender  if defamation is proved. 3) In civil defamation case, at end of case, court awards damages to compensate loss to reputation if defamation is proved. Difference between Criminal and Civil Defamation Next to life, what man cares most about is his/her reputation.Defamation means the offense of harming a person’s fame, character, or reputation by using false and malicious statements. Generally, defamation requires that there is a false publication about the defamed person without his/her consent. Unlike many countries in the West and near home, such as Sri Lanka, defamation in India is both a Civil and a Criminal offense.
