JIO Vs COAI Defamation Case Details.

Court admits Reliance Jio defamation suit against Cellular Operator Association of India & director general Rajan Mathews; restrains use of disparaging comments like 
"back door operator", 
"skullduggery", 
"deep pockets with monopolistic designs" against Jio.


COAI and Mathews' counsel defended these allegations, saying they were “fair comments” and not under the purview of defamation.

Justice Yogesh Khanna disagreed. "I doubt whether the phrases/ words used back door operator" "skullduggery", "deep pockets with monopolistic designs" would fall within the phrase of fair comment and hence the plaintiff has been able to make out a prima facie case."


In reply to the allegation  COAI clarified that "Disappointed that one of our member companies has chosen to bring legal action against the association and its director general, alleging defamation, rising from use of language in communication" said Mathews. Rajan Mathews added that the industry body and he would "vigorously defend its case" which was "without merit".

The next hearing has been scheduled for August 24.
