That's No Joke! 'Hate speech case: If said with smile, no criminality, says Delhi HC'

[Sukla Sen]

What a joke!!!

And this is a constitutional court and no less!

Now, we should laugh or cry!?

"In the centre of the counterrevolution stood the judiciary." - Franz Neumann in 'Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism 1933–1944'.

<<Justice Chandra Dhari Singh [of the Delhi High Court] observed that if something is said with a smile, then there is no criminality but if something is said offensively, then there may be criminality. The court was hearing CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat’s petition against a lower court order in which the prayer for registration of FIR against Union Minister Anurag Thakur and MP Parvesh Verma for their alleged hate speech was declined.>>
