Where hospitals & clinics in Kolkata are attacked, and where it is answered.
Kolkata hospitals and clinics are attacked through a specific set of channels: Bengali-language news portals that reach families across West Bengal; the Facebook groups that circulate across the West Bengal diaspora, where a treatment allegation is reposted long after the original post has been answered; Bengali YouTube commentary; and the Practo and Google Maps listings on which individual departments and consultants are rated. The forum is equally specific. Calcutta High Court is a Chartered High Court with an original side, so a civil defamation suit, with the injunction application against the portal or platform, can lie there where the cause of action arises within the city and the suit exceeds the City Civil Court's pecuniary limit; otherwise it is filed in the City Civil Court. Through the partner law firm, the notice to the portal's editor and the notice to the platform's Grievance Officer go out together, with the court application prepared in parallel where the content is still spreading.
