💨 Abstract

The Calcutta High Court quashed a defamation case filed by a superintendent of an educational institution against over 280 people who had submitted a mass petition to the Chief Minister, stating that the petition pertains to public interest overriding the right to reputation. The petition accused the superintendent of engaging in illegal activities at the institution and sought an inquiry in the interest of students and the institution.
