I filed complaints about issues I faced with the education department on the PGMS portal. The Education Officer/Deputy Director of Education responded, but some of their statements about me are untrue and damaging to my reputation. They claim things never happened, and I’ve been asking for 3 months for proof to support these claims. Despite repeated requests, they haven’t provided any evidence. One specific statement they made was “Your candidature was disapproved for the post you applied for,” which is completely false. Can I pursue a defamation lawsuit against the education department? Please advise.

Yes, you may have grounds for a defamation lawsuit. The education officer’s false statements, particularly the claim about your candidature being disapproved, could be considered defamatory as it harms your reputation. You can consult with a lawyer to assess the specific details and strength of your case.

Previous Article We filed our case on October 27th, 2015. The first notice was served to the opposing party on November 28th, 2015. We added more parties, and a second notice was served on January 5th, 2016. The opposing party didn’t show up for either hearing. On our third hearing, February 26th, 2016, they were still absent. After about 120 days, the State Consumer Commission (CC) dismissed our complaint as an ex parte order. We submitted an ex parte affidavit the same day. However, at our fourth hearing on May 4th, 2016, the opposing party appeared and said they could provide a response at the next hearing on June 21st, 2016. Since this was the first hearing after the ex parte order, could the State CC cancel the ex parte order? We haven’t hired a lawyer.
