SLAPP- Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation
SLAPP - Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation aims to intimidate and silence critics by compelling them to join a legal battle and restrain them from expressing a view similar to the one that initiated by SLAPP.
SLAPP is coined by University of Devner Professors Penelope Canan and George W Pring , and the same is detailed in their book The Slapps: Getting sued for speaking out ( 1996).
This was dealt in Khusboo v. Kanniammal 2010 (67), by Supreme Court of India , and the Court expressed that " the notion of social morality are inherently subjective and the criminal law cannot be used as a means to unduly interfere with the domain of personal autonomy.
