Mon Dec 02 20:29:44 UTC 2024: ## Kerala High Court Dismisses PFI Defamation Case Against Organiser
**Kochi, Kerala:** The Kerala High Court has dismissed a defamation case filed by the Popular Front of India (PFI) against the RSS mouthpiece, Organiser. The case stemmed from an article published in Organiser alleging that the PFI was another face of a banned organization.
Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan dismissed the case, citing the PFI’s ban. The court ruled that since the PFI is a banned organization, it no longer holds legal standing to file a defamation suit. The single-bench judgement stated that defamation does not apply to a banned entity.
The case, initially filed in the Kozhikode First Class Magistrate Court, was challenged by Organiser. The article in question alleged a link between the PFI and another banned entity. The High Court’s ruling effectively ends the legal battle.
