SC reserves decision on pleas against hate speech

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its decision on a batch of petitions raising concerns over hate speeches and the alleged failure of authorities to effectively implement existing regulatory mechanisms.

Directing all parties to file brief written submissions, a Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta hinted that most of the matters would be closed, with liberty to pursue remedies as available under law, except for one petition.

The Justice Nath-led Bench decided to continue hearing the matter concerning an alleged 2021 hate crime against a Muslim cleric in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, to assess the status of the trial and the steps taken thereafter.
