Amid Row Over Kunal Kamra Joke, Supreme Court's Freedom Of Speech Message
The Supreme Court today dismissed an FIR lodged against Congress Rajya Sabha MP Imran Pratapgarhi for his Instagram post featuring a poem titled "Ae khoon ke pyase baat suno" and said "courts must be at the forefront to protect freedom of speech and expression."
A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan held that no offence was made out, criticising the overzealousness of the Gujarat Police in initiating action against Mr Pratapgarhi.
