RULING Waseem Vasta vs
Since the alleged defamatory statements were not published through media, the Media Services Act and its Rules do not apply, and the suit was properly filed by plaint. The omission by the plaintiff to sign the plaint is not fatal as the verification clause was signed and the defect is curable by amendment under the overriding objective principle.
