Part 6 of the ‘Free to Air’ series
In recent months, the actions of the police as well as the judiciary in cases concerning protests against the CAA and the farm laws have raised concerns regarding unconstitutional invasion of free speech. At the same time, allegations also abound regarding speeches made by public figures that may have provoked or encouraged violence. A half-a-century-old landmark judgment by the US Supreme Court might help us find the road ahead. ....

What constitutes contempt of court? Here's how a UK judgment from 1968 decided the matter


What constitutes contempt of court? Here’s how a UK judgment from 1968 decided the matter
March 4, 2021, 9:44 PM IST
Part 5 of the ‘Free to Air’ series
 
One of the restrictions to free speech, which has been enshrined in the Constitution of India, is contempt of court. Oftentimes, the law on contempt has been used by the judiciary to limit instances of criticism against it. Fortunately, however, there is well-established precedent that all criticism does not qualify as contempt. Where, then, is the line?
In India, an overarching law regarding contempt was introduced with the Contempt of Courts Act in 1971. The law’s origins, however, can be traced back to its colonial history and the common law principle that courts of records can punish for contempt. It is only befitting then to turn to a 1968 judgment of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, rendered a few years before the Act was passed, to understand what constitutes contempt ....

Can govt shut down the internet when faced with dissent? Here’s what West Africa’s Community Court of Justice decreed last year
March 1, 2021, 7:56 PM IST
Part 4 of the ‘Free to Air’ series
 
Internet shutdowns are one of the stock responses used by governments to curb anticipated law and order violations. But apart from making communication between dissidents onerous, every shutdown extracts a heavy toll on day-to-day life – important government announcements are not disseminated, medical appointments are missed, access to online educational resources stultified. Are such blanket shutdowns legal?
In 2020, the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was faced with precisely this question. Three years earlier, in the wake of protests against the amendments to the Togolese Constitution altering the presidential term limit, the government imposed a ....

What the Supreme Court said in 1985, on how newsprint duties impact freedom of the press in India
February 19, 2021, 12:22 PM IST
Part 2 of the series ‘Free to Air’
In 1985, the Indian government began levying import duty on newsprint imported from abroad along with an auxiliary customs duty. This resulted in an increase in the price of newspapers and reduced their circulation. These levies were challenged by several publishers, editors and printers of daily newspapers for stifling their freedom of speech and expression. In response, the government argued that these duties had been levied on newsprint in ‘public interest’ so as to augment revenue. ....
