CJP spokesperson Saurav Das has reacted to the controversy surrounding the case registered against Ruchika Singh, raising concerns over the use of criminal proceedings in matters involving speech and protests.
Das said that while offensive or derogatory language may be criticised, invoking criminal machinery against protesters can create concerns around freedom of expression. He argued that those who feel harmed by remarks have legal remedies such as defamation proceedings, while cautioning against the misuse of criminal provisions.
