'Objectionable' cartoons on PM Modi, RSS: Freedom of speech, expression abused, says Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Monday (July 14, 2025) said the right of freedom of speech and expression was being "abused" while hearing the plea of a cartoonist accused of sharing alleged objectionable cartoons of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS workers on social media. "Why do you do all this?" a bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar asked the counsel of cartoonist Hemant Malviya, who sought anticipatory bail in the matter. Advocate Vrinda Grover, representing Malviya, said the matter was over a cartoon made in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. "It may be unpalatable. Let me say it is in poor taste. Let me go to that extent. But is it an offence? My lords have said, it can be offensive but it is not an offence. I am simply on law. I am not trying to justify anything," she said. Ms. Grover agreed to delete the post made by Mr. Malviya. "Whatever we may do with this case, but this is definitely the case that the freedom of speech and expression is being abused," Justice Dhulia observed. Additional Solicitor General K.M. Nataraj, appearing for Madhya Pradesh, said such "things" were repeatedly done. When Ms. Grover said there should be some maturity, Mr. Nataraj said, "It is not the question of maturity alone. It is something more." Referring to the time of the cartoon's inception, Mr. Grover said there had been no law and order problem since then. She said the issue was of personal liberty and whether this would require arrest and remand. The bench posted the matter on July 15. Ms. Grover requested the bench to grant interim protection the petitioner till then. "We will see this tomorrow," the bench said. Mr. Malviya is challenging a Madhya Pradesh High Court order passed on July 3 refusing to grant him anticipatory bail. Mr. Malviya was booked by Lasudiya police station in Indore in May on a complaint filed by lawyer and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker Vinay Joshi. Malviya hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus and disturbed communal harmony by uploading objectionable material on social media, Mr. Joshi alleged. The FIR mentioned various "objectionable" posts, including allegedly inappropriate comments on Lord Shiva as well as cartoons, videos, photographs and comments regarding Mr. Modi, RSS workers and others. Mr. Malviya's lawyer before the High Court contended that he only posted a cartoon, but he could not be held responsible for the comments posted on it by other Facebook users. The FIR accused him of posting indecent and objectionable material with the intention of hurting religious sentiments of Hindus and tarnishing the RSS's image. The police invoked Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 196 (acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony between different communities), 299 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings) and 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) as well as section 67-A (publishing or transmitting in electronic form any sexually explicit material) of the Information Technology Act against the accused.

‘Why do you do all this?' SC questions cartoonist over posts on PM Modi, RSS, says free speech being ‘abused'
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday said that the right to freedom of speech and expression was 'being abused' while hearing the anticipatory bail plea of cartoonist Hemant Malviya, who has been booked over objectionable social media posts related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS workers. "Why do you do all this?" a bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar asked Malviya's counsel, Advocate Vrinda Grover, during the hearing. Grover submitted that the cartoon in question was created in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic and said, 'It may be unpalatable. Let me say it is in poor taste. Let me go to that extent. But is it an offence? My lords have said, it can be offensive but it is not an offence. I am simply on law. I am not trying to justify anything.' He also agreed to have the post deleted. Justice Dhulia remarked, 'Whatever we may do with this case, but this is definitely the case that the freedom of speech and expression is being abused.' Additional Solicitor General K M Nataraj, representing the Madhya Pradesh government, told the court that such acts were repeatedly committed. When Grover said there should be some maturity in how the issue is handled, Nataraj responded, 'It is not the question of maturity alone. It is something more.' Grover further pointed out that there had been no law and order issue since the cartoon was published and questioned whether arrest and remand were necessary in such a case involving personal liberty. The bench posted the matter for hearing on July 15. Grover requested interim protection for Malviya till the next hearing, to which the bench responded, 'We will see this tomorrow.' Malviya had approached the top court after the Madhya Pradesh High Court on July 3 rejected his anticipatory bail plea. He is facing charges under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Section 196 (acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), Section 299 (outraging religious feelings), Section 352 (intentional insult), and Section 67-A of the IT Act (publishing sexually explicit material online). The case was filed based on a complaint by RSS worker and lawyer Vinay Joshi, who alleged that Malviya hurt Hindu religious sentiments and disturbed communal harmony through objectionable content posted on social media. The FIR refers to multiple posts, including a cartoon, comments on Lord Shiva, and material involving Modi and RSS members. Malviya's lawyer told the high court earlier that he had only posted a cartoon and could not be held liable for comments posted on it by other users.
