The Allahabad High Court has cautioned social media users against posting abusive comments targeting the judiciary. It stressed that such remarks exceed fair criticism and may lead to serious consequences under contempt law for those who make them.
The Kerala High Court dismissed criminal proceedings against Goa Governor P.S. Sreedharan Pillai for his comments on the Supreme Court’s Sabarimala ruling. The court emphasized the need for contextual assessment of speech, noting that Pillai’s remarks were made at a private event. His position as Governor also granted him immunity from prosecution.
