Abstract
During recent years, a sharp rise is noted in the number of frivolous law suits filed to silence voices of dissenters and the marginalized sections including women who complaint against violence. These legal tactics are striking the roots of democracy and curbing the public discourse on the vital issues while choking the freedom of speech. In western countries, anti-SLAPP legislations have been framed to curb such bogus law suits. In India, the anti-SLAPP laws are in the nascent phase. Much discussions are required to frame the laws to prevent the abuse of the laws and the legal system by the powerful. The debate on the neutrality of the law has to be re-examined from this perspective to achieve the goals of justice in true sense.
