I got angry and said something hurtful about a girl in a movie while looking out my window. She was at her gate with her sister, who was filming me. I didn’t say her name, but I’m worried it might be defamation. Is this true, and what can I do to defend myself?

It’s possible your words could be considered defamation, even if you didn’t name the girl directly. The sister filming you could strengthen the case. You should seek legal advice from a lawyer to understand the specific laws and potential defenses in your situation.

My friend says getting an FIR quashed through a settlement might hurt my chances of joining prestigious government services like the IAS. They believe a settlement implies wrongdoing and raises questions about one’s character. I’m preparing for the UPSC and have an FIR filed against me, though I’m not the real accused. The complainant now understands my situation and has signed an affidavit stating she has no issue with the FIR being quashed. But I’m worried that going to court for a settlement and getting the FIR quashed could still negatively impact my future employment. I heard about a similar case where even after the accused was acquitted, they didn’t get the job. Should I be concerned?
