Whether a statement signed by 50 people constitutes defamation under Indian law depends on the content of the statement. If the statement contains false and defamatory allegations against an individual, it could be considered defamation even with multiple signatories.

Living in a rented flat in Hyderabad for the past eight months, we’re facing a frustrating situation with the apartment’s secretary. She’s insisting that all 12 tenants, including us, keep our shoes inside our homes, refusing to allow them in the corridor or outside our doors. This has forced us to store our footwear inside, which unfortunately has led to a concerning health issue. My six-year-old son is battling severe respiratory and eye infections due to the mold and fungus growing in our home because of the trapped moisture from the shoes. Despite explaining this to the secretary, she remains inflexible and is now threatening eviction. We’re at a loss for what to do next.

Also, the lawyer I met at the court told me to pay ₹3,500. Is that the correct fine amount?
