whose only interest was money. The profile also “boasted” of her achievements
which included defrauding a bank of Rs.10 lakh and getting away with it.
Ritika immediately informed “1worldcom” of the posting and requested them to
remove it. The posting was removed the next day but reappeared a week later. It
was again removed but reappeared two days later. Deeply hurt, Ritika filed a suit
for defamation against “1worldcom”. With reference to jurisprudence of
defamation cases, examine the liability of “1worldcom.”
