“calling a person corrupt is per se defamatory as it tends to lower the estimation of the person in the eyes of the public” : HC of Himachal Pradesh

The court allowed the petition filed by Jagat Singh Negi, a Congress MLA, against BJP leader Surat Singh Negi's dismissal of his defamation complaint.
