Nivisha Kapoor
A writing is not libellous, if it is a fair comment on a matter of:
(A) media interest
(B) editor’s interest
(C) public interest
(D) corporate interest
Correct Ans: (C)
Explanation:
A writing does not become libellous if it is a fair comment on a matter of public interest. The “fair comment” defense allows individuals to express opinions or criticism on public topics as long as these opinions are based on facts and do not carry malicious intent. Public interest often includes topics like politics, social issues, and events that affect the general welfare.
Media interest, editor’s interest, and corporate interest do not provide the same legal protection. A fair comment is only protected when it addresses issues that affect society at large, not private or corporate concerns. Therefore, writers and critics can express opinions freely on public matters, but they must ensure their comments are reasonable, factual, and made in good faith to avoid legal consequences.
