The Supreme Court has observed that a re-tweet can be defamatory. The observation was made by the Supreme Court while rejecting a plea filed by AAP leader Raghav Chadda.

Chadda had challenged the trial against him in the Rs 10 crore defamation case filed by Union Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley. Chadda had claimed that there is no law making a re-tweet defamatory.
