Bengaluru Cybercrime Police have filed a case against five users for posting derogatory remarks against CJI B R Gavai after a Delhi lawyer’s shoe-throwing incident in court. The accused face charges under BNS Section 352 for provoking breach of peace.
The Delhi High Court addressed a defamation case involving commentator Abhijit Iyer Mitra, filed by nine women journalists from Newslaundry. While not restraining Mitra, the court emphasized the importance of respecting free speech limits. The journalists seek a permanent injunction, public apology, and compensation for the alleged defamatory remarks made on social media.
