NO, DEFAMATION IS CAUSED ONLY WHEN SOMETHING FALSE IS SAID OF A PERSON, IF THE PERSON HAS DEFAULTED THEN THERE IS NO FALSITY OF FACTS, HENCE IT DOESNOT CONSTITUTE AS AN INGREDIENT FOR DEFAMATION.riven

Agreed with Mr. Vishal. Defamation is depends on when published some thing wrong but in ur case if u r defaulter and housing society published ur name after legal notice then its not a case of defamation.riven

I want to differ slightly. Publication of every truth is not exempted from the clutches of "defamation". It depends on whether the action for defamation is being taken under torts or under penal laws.riven

Displaying or publising truth is not come under defamation. In this case if the name of the defaulter of co-op housing society is true then it will not constitute defamation. So no offence on the part of co-op housing society.
