The Department of Consumer Affairs treats a fake review as an unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and, where it states false facts, it is defamation under BNS Section 356 (formerly IPC 499/500), which means it can be removed rather than merely outweighed.

Small Business & MSME in Indore: the local legal context
Indore and Bhopal both fall within the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Indore's growing status as a business hub — with a strong pharmaceutical, retail, and education sector — means its professionals increasingly face online reputation attacks through consumer portals, Google reviews, and Hindi-language news sites.
Medical professional defamation on consumer complaint portals
Education institution fake review campaigns during admission season
Pharmaceutical company reputation attacks on industry forums
Indore content cases involve a mix of Hindi-language news portals, JustDial reviews for the city's strong hospitality and education sectors, and increasingly Telegram channels operating in the broader MP audience.
Indore has a bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, whose principal seat is at Jabalpur. The High Court has no original civil side, so a civil suit starts in the competent civil court in Indore.
Highest-risk Indore industries: Hospitality and food businesses (Zomato, Swiggy, JustDial review attacks), educational coaching institutes (NEET/JEE-coaching competitor attacks), and small-and-medium manufacturing businesses (consumer-portal organised attacks).
In Indore, reputation management for small businesses & MSMEs rests on the Information Technology Act 2000 (Section 79 read with IT Rules 2021, which set platform deadlines of three hours on a court order, two hours on intimate images or impersonation of a person, and seven days on most other complaints, defamation included), criminal defamation under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 s.356 (formerly IPC 499/500), and civil injunctions from the competent civil court in Indore. Across 25+ cities RepuLex maintains a 97% case success rate — permanent removal, not suppression.
