Constitutional Law

Freedom of Speech and Expression

A Fundamental Right guaranteeing citizens the freedom to express opinions and ideas, subject to specified reasonable restrictions.

This right covers not just spoken and written expression but a wide range of related activities, and is subject to reasonable restrictions the state can impose in the interests of matters like public order, decency, and sovereignty and integrity of the country.

Courts closely scrutinise any restriction to ensure it is genuinely reasonable and doesn't amount to a disproportionate or arbitrary curtailment of the underlying right.
