The Law Commission of India has recommended that criminal defamation should be retained within the scheme of criminal laws in India.
In a report on criminal defamation law, the panel asserted that it was important to keep in mind that the right to reputation flows from Article 21.
"The right to reputation, being a facet of the right to life and personal liberty, needs to be adequately protected against defamatory speech and imputations," the Law Commission said in its report.
