*** Sajha.com receives Cease and Desist order - Seeking Counsel

Dear Sajha Friends,
I just received a piece of registered mail from a law firm. The letter contains the subject "Notice to Cease and Desist"

The reason for this mail was because a client of the law firm is mentioned in few of the threads in a negative light.

As you know sajha users share immense information through sajha in order to help out other members of the Nepali polulation at large. There are reviews published on companies which may be good or bad according to the way it is perceived by the writer.

Personally, I had never heard of the company in question till I received this letter today, and in searching for the company name in the google sajha search, it returned 3 results for this company name.

The content of the letter asks me to remove the reference within 5 days, or possibly face legal action.

I want to know if there are anyone with business law/libel/defamation experience who have any suggestions on this regard.

PS: the names of the Law firm and it's client are not going to be made public at this time.
