Written statement filed by lawyer having defamatory words.
later when the lawyers give up in this matter i hire another advocate . With their efforts her suit got dismissed
She again filed restoration in the same court but again got dismissed .This time she withdraw her suit and then dismissed by judge
She took same written statement in the court of MM after withdrawing her suit and filed a criminal complaint US 200 , for defamation 499 .

What is your query?
If you want to know as to whether the defamation case stands or not then the written statement needs to be perused. The High Courts are divergent in this aspect as to whether the statements in pleading can be defamatory or not.

In my view, statements in pleadings should not be taken as defamatory.
