Question: Prity and Tanisha Kumar are 22-year-old indistinguishable twins. The Kumar's live in a settlement on the outskirts of Suva town in Fiji Islands. Prity was a brilliant child in secondary school and then proceeded to pursue her MBSS degree at Fiji School of Medicine campus in Ba. Apart from her studies, she aspires to become a student rep and will be contesting in the upcoming student election. On the other hand, Tanisha was an average performer in high school studies unlike her intelligent twin sister. She got into bad company and also got addicted to drugs. She left her studies incomplete, and then decided to move to her uncle's place in Savusavu (Fiji) to work in a soap factory. Prity is now into her third year of MBBS studies and has hardly talked to Taniha for three long years. Coincidentally, very few people at her campus are actually aware that she has a twin sister. Manisha, who is classmate of Prity and Tanisha, is also pursuing her studies at the same tertiary institution. She has always disliked Prity owing to her intelligent traits and does not want her to win the upcoming elections. She devises a plan and gathers an old photograph of Tanisha snorting a hard drug with her friends during her school days. She sends that mistaken picture to the local newspaper agency a day before elections and left a caption that read "Ms. Kumar is a drug addict". The photograph was very clear and looked exactly like Prity, The local new agency unaware that Prity had an identical twin sister, published the photograph of Tanisha the same day, with a caption that read, "Drug Addict for University Senate?". The news reporter also acknowledged that it had received the photograph of "Prity kumar" anonymously earlier that day. Prity was very distressed about that newspaper's publication and subsequently lost the election. Thereafter, Prity filed defamation claims against both Manisha and the local Newspaper Agency.
