Section XII deals with ARY’s involvement in WMO.
It
appears to suggest, through juxtaposition, that ARY’s involvement is a
mere front for terrorist activity.
This is achieved by juxtaposing the

account of ARY’s work in WMO with the mention (in §27) of a close

connection with
“Iqbal Memon also known as Iqbal Mirchi, a wanted international
drug trafficker and the right-hand man of Dawood Ibrahim, the
leader of a notorious Mumbai-based criminal syndicate that was
behind a string of bombings in that city in March 1993”

Section XII then connects ARY’s work in WMO with terrorist
financing through a quotation from an unidentified “Western intelligence
official”. The quotation does not explicitly state that ARY is involved in

In my view, the meaning in SOC §8(k) is made out. There is
no evidence that WMO or ARY had any association with Mr. Mirchi or
terrorist-financing whether through “hawala” or any other means.

Section XII is therefore defamatory.
