Based on my limited recollection, isn't defamation severely limited to the extent that the defamatory statement has to be about an identifiable class of individuals but can't be about a class of individuals that is so wide as to render reasonable reference to any individual impossible?
Now, in this case, all alumni of Meerut University could arguably sue together, though I wouldn't be convinced that any court would accept such an action (particularly against a work of comedy).
Would welcome views on this, since we regularly get accused in the comments of 'defaming' institutions, mostly spuriously, which to me sounds almost impossible in most cases (except in the case of IIPM, perhaps).
