Being poor, how can you spend for fighting a libel suit?

Legal aid is for name sake.

If the person is wealthy, then he can challenge to retain his supremacy.

Therefore, forget legal options as one need to have money, energy and time.

If already not resigned make representation before your company about the concerned happening in written and donot regisn if they terminate you without any valid reason you can always approach labour court.

Also a suit of defamation can be filed in civil and criminal both in civil for damages and criminal for punishment .

So fighting a civil defamation for damages you have to file in civil court for seeking damages.

Also as against in criminal.court a private complaint can be filed under section 499 and 500 ipc.

You can also sent a legal notice before filing suit.to the person asking damages as he has defamed you and you lost job and injury is caused.

Hello,

You go ahead and file a libel suit in the civil court, and claim compensation for the harassment that you have faced.

If you want to file a case then do not render apologies to the company, just resign saying that false allegations have been levelled against you.

Send him a legal notice seeking damages for the injury caused to your reputation, also seek compensation from him on account having lost your job.

Contact a local lawyer for more help on the issue.

Without going through the video, it is very difficult to comment as to whether or not you have a good case.

You can give two separate notice, one to customer for defamation and another to the management for illegal termination.

You can consult a local lawyer and proceed as per further suggestions made by lawyer.
