https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287097 A claim for malicious prosecution requires the plaintiff to prove that the defendant initiated or continued the prosecution maliciously, without reasonable and probable cause, that the criminal case ended in the plaintiff's favour, and that damage resulted; the burden remains on the plaintiff throughout. Where the defendant merely supplied information to police, who then investigated and filed a charge-sheet, liability does not arise unless the report is shown to be false to the defendant's knowledge and the prosecution lacking reasonable and probable cause. Mere acquittal is not enough to establish civil liability for malicious prosecution, and the plaintiff was not entitled to damages. en-us Mon, 29 May 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 28 Mar 2020 11:53:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287097 A claim for malicious prosecution requires the plaintiff to prove that the defendant initiated or continued the prosecution maliciously, without reasonable and probable cause, that the criminal case ended in the plaintiff's favour, and that damage resulted; the burden remains on the plaintiff throughout.
