Lachhman Vs. Pyarchand and ors.

Court : Rajasthan

Reported in : AIR1959Raj169

..... both these errors in the judgment of the trial court are immaterial to the substantial result of the suit, as i have come to the conclusion that in the first place the report made by the defendants was absolutely privileged and secondly that even if it carried, only a qualified privilege, there was no proof whatsoever that it was born of malice in fact, and, on the other hand, there was ample proof to show that it had been made by the defendants ..... having regard to all these considerations, i have arrived at the conclusion that the report made by the defendants to the police in the pre-sent case was absolutely privileged, and the doctrine of absolute privilege forbids any inquiry into the motives of the persons who made the complaint. ..... again, speaking on principle, if a complaint made to a magistrate is accepted as properly falling within the doctrine of absolute privilege, and on that point judicial authority is firm and unanimous, i do not see any valid reason why a report in a cognizable case which the police are empowere; by law to investigate should be placed on a different footing. ..... p-1 in this case was not absolutely privileged but carried only a qualified privilege with it, (and this is indeed not denied by learned counsel for the plaintiff appellant) i am of opinion that there is ample material on this record which has been believed by the trial court to show that the report was warranted by the occasion which prompted it. .....
