Delhi HC orders Wipro to pay Rs 2 lakh for defaming former employee in exit letter
In a rare case, the Delhi High Court has held IT major Wipro Ltd in defamation over its termination letter to its former employee that was replete with “stigma and insinuations.”
It asked the company to pay Rs 2 lakh as general compensatory damages to Abhijit Mishra, who was working as principal consultant between 2018-2020, “to redress the reputational harm, emotional hardship, and loss of professional credibility” occasioned by Wipro’s conduct.
