New Delhi, April 5. The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that the government cannot deny security clearance to a media channel to operate merely on the basis of its views that it is constitutionally entitled to hold. This produces a chilling effect on free speech, and in particular on press freedom, the court said. “Criticism of governmental policy can by no stretch of imagination be brought within the fold of any of the grounds stipulated in Article 19(2)” under which press freedom can be restricted, it said. The reasons for denying clearance i.e., alleged anti-establishment stance and links to an alleged…

New Delhi, March 29. The Supreme Court on Wednesday slammed state inaction in dealing with hate speeches in the country and demanded to know the point of having a state if it was “impotent”.

New Delhi, March 27. The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that banks would have to hear our borrowers before declaring their accounts as fraud. The bench clarified that no such opportunity need be given before an FIR is lodged and registered. “Classification of an account as fraud not only results in reporting the crime to investigating agencies, but also has other penal and civil consequences against the borrowers,” the bench said. It also bars borrowers from accessing institutional finance under. Such blacklisting is akin to borrowers being declared as untrustworthy and unworthy of credit by banks, the bench, comprising Chief…

In declaring so the top court set aside a decade old law laid down in the Anup Bhuyan case.

Today, a bench led by…
