Online defamation

Shruti (Querist) 19 September 2011 This query is : Resolved
Hello,some of my competitors and ex-employees have posted false & defamatory remarks about my company in various complaint sites.Most of the complaints are posted with fake names or anonymously. I filed a complaint with the cyber cell & contacted the webmasters to remove the postings after sending them a copy of the complaint. But the site owners refused to do so. Some even asked for a huge sum to remove the postings.I have a small business & I cannot afford paying a large amount for online reputation management services or to pay the webmasters the kind of amount they are demanding.I dont know what to do as I'm loosing business & reputation.Please suggest a remedy. If it requires an order from the court ,please tell what charges a lawyer can ask for?

If the cyber cell fails to act or register the FIR then move the court u/s 156(30 of crpc.
Moreover you are certain about the identity of those persons then file a case u/s 500 of IPC for committing defamation.
