Malicious prosecution is an abuse of the process of the court by wrongfully setting the law in motion on a criminal charge.

“Every man is entitled to have his reputation preserved inviolate”. A man's reputation is his property. Depending upon perception of that man, reputation is more valuable to him than any other property. Reputation is the state of being held in high esteem and honor or the general estimation that the public has for a person. Reputation depends on opinion, and opinion is the main basis of communication of thoughts and Information amongst humans. In simpler words, reputation is nothing but enjoyment of good opinion on the part of others. So, the right to have reputation involves right to have reputation inviolate or intact.

Defamation is nothing but causing damage to reputation of another. Defamation is civil as well as criminal wrong. Likewise the codified criminal law on the subject, the civil law of defamation is not codified. The criminal law on the topic is contained in sectioned 499 to 502 of Indian Penal Code, 1860. However, defamation as a Civil Wrong is covered under Law of Torts. It is purely based on presidential developments, i.e. through decisions pronounced by Courts.

A false criminal case is nothing but persecution of the individual with the instrument of law.
