On Hate Speech, Supreme Court's Big Order To States, And Contempt Warning
The Supreme Court today extended the scope of its 2022 order -- which directed the Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand Police to take suo motu action against hate speech cases -- and directed all states and union territories to register cases over hate speech even if no complaint is made. The court warned that delays in filing cases will be treated as contempt of court.
