Dear Sir/s,

For a very negligible matter, one of my family member has sent me an email wherein he has used some words like non-sense, mad, masterpiece etc. for me. Can i take any legal action against him for such a kind language used for me in the said email. If yes, under which section of ipc?

Please reply.

Thanks in advance.

One instance:
before 18 years/ no mobile, no Identification of incoming phone call. it is land line.

A unknown person, rang up at 1:30 am night, 3 days, waking me up, say some unnecessary words to upset or I may get angry, and confirming, he disturbed my sleep, keep the phone down.

I noticed, it was PCO on Railway Station, as background sound can be heard.
[ He may be working in IInd shift, and instructed by somebody else to do so!!, while returning from his job..]

I told, thank you for remembering me every day at this time.. in midnight, pl continue, I will wait for your phone call daily. I am so fortunate, someone remember me. for whatever reason..

It stopped the very day!!
Ignore, do not react, or say, I like your comments, thanks for not using abusive words.. By the way cool it down, so that opp party knows, he wasted his time...

If you are really aggrieved by the person's act you could send a legal notice to him for defamation and file a complaint against him in Cyber Crime also.

Agree with the advise of expert VR SHROFF ji, a practical advise. Going ahead would be loss of money ,time, mental peace gaining nothing. Choice is yours ignore or proceed.

Why not, if you have sufficient time and money to spend on litigations.

But, you have not made clear with what context your relative used such words.

By the way, what is the definition of unparliamentary words and how you propose to prove such words as unparliamentry words and also how the term parliament is directly related to you in person?

This is private communication. Even if he would have used more strong words, no defamation case lies.
Only in the party publication the defamation lies.
