The essential ingredient of Section 499 is that the imputation made by the accused should have the potential to harm the reputation of the person against whom the imputation is made.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe claim made by a person involved in politics that the answers provided by his rival in public office to the questions posed by him, will expose his scam, cannot be per se stated to be intended to harm the reputation of the person holding office. The statements such as \u201cI will expose you\u201d, \u201cI will expose your corrupt practices\u201d and \u201cI will expose the scam in which you are involved, etc.\u201d are not by themselves defamatory unless there is something more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interestingly, this case was clubbed with the case where MP Manoj Tiwari was accused of defamation of Manish Sisodia as he had held a Press Conference alleging that Sisodia was involved in corruption to the tune of Rs. 2000 crores, in the matter of award of contracts for building classrooms in Delhi Government Schools. He was charged with under Sections 500 and 34 IPC with three others. The Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate has summoned these four accused as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Supreme Court held that both the matters should not have been clubbed as Gupta was only charged under Section 500 IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Manoj Kumar Tiwari v.
