Whether the online comments were clearly not defamatory and justified refusing to proceed with the complaint under Art. 176 CPP
The comments did not clearly amount to defamation; refusal to proceed was correct.
A refusal to proceed is justified only when conviction is excluded with certainty. The impugned comments were either not clearly directed at the complainant, or were mere opinions without an honor-impairing factual allegation, and in any event did not portray her as contemptible.
