On Tuesday, the Supreme Indian Court awarded the Provisional Protection against the Carturist Measure Malviya, who faces charges for alleged sharing of the undesirable cartoon of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS workers on social media.
However, a bench composed of judges Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar warned Malviya that if he continued to share offensive material online, the state should act by law.
“We’ll have to do something about it,” said the Supreme Court bench, expressed concern about the abusive content of the circulating on social media platforms. The judges also remarked: “Log Kisi Ko Bhi, KUK BHI Keh Dete Hain (people tell anyone to someone).”
Crecatonist action on bail reaches the peak of the court
Malviya turned to the Supreme Court after Madhya Pradesh High Court 3. The case comes from companies filed at the Lasudiya Police Station in Indore in May on the basis of a complaint filed by Vinay Joshi, lawyer and RSS worker.
The complaint claimed that Malviya damaged the religious feelings of the Hindes and disrupted the communal harmony by recording inappropriate content on the social media.
“Can it be in bad taste, but is it a crime?”
The head of the lawyer Vrinda Grover, who represented Malviya, argued in July 14 that the controversial cartoon dated until 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Grover said, “It may be inedible. Let me say he’s in bad taste. Let me go to this extent. But it’s an offense? My gentlemen said it could be offensive, but it’s not a crime. I’m simply by law.
She also stated that Malviya would remove the alleged offensive allowance.
Freedom of expression is abused: Supreme Court
Dhulia justice remarked during hearing: “Whatever we can do with this case, but it is definitely that freedom of expression and expression is abused.”
Another general lawyer KM Nataraj, who appeared for the government of Madhya Pradesh, stressed that such acts were not isolated incidents and said, “It is not a question of maturity itself. It’s more.”
Company quotes inappropriate content and religious insults
Hermant Malviya’s cartoon companies have given some allegedly offensive posts, including notes about Lord, and posts representing cartoons, videos, photos and comments on PM modi, RSS workers and others.
The defense of Hemant Malviya at the Madhya Pradesh High Court claimed that while sharing a cartoon, he could not be responsible for the comments published by other Facebook users.
The police referred to the provisions of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhit, including section 196 (ACTS prejudices for community harmony), Section 299 (harmful acts intended to outrage religious feelings), and Section 352 (deliberate insult with intention).
