‘Also Require A Framework To Curb Its Abuse’ Justice Surya Kant takes oath as CJI NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said on Monday that right to freedom of speech and expression “is doubtless one of our most valued rights” requiring further strengthening but emphasised the need for a framework that “ensures responsibility, accuracy and respect in public discourses”. Speaking to TOI after taking oath as the 53rd CJI, the first from Haryana, Justice Kant said, “It is not freedom of speech that causes harm to the dignity or reputation, it is the misuse of that freedom and the inefficiency of our remedies that causes it.”Importantly, his predecessor, ex-CJI B R Gavai also shared the view. “Right to free speech is always subject to reasonable restrictions specified in the Constitution. If a person’s speech is in violation of those reasonable restrictions, it falls foul of the fundamental right,” Gavai said.Asked whether the existing mechanism provides for adequate remedies against abusive or hate speeches, the outgoing CJI said, “I feel there should be a regulatory mechanism that needs to be put in place regarding this. It is for Parliament to take a decision on this issue.”CJI Kant said the right to free speech comes with an equally important obligation – exercise in a manner that aligns with a citizen’s fundamental duties. “The Constitution envisions not just a free society, but a respectful and harmonious one. When we forget that duties are intrinsic to rights, we distort the balance that keeps democracy functional and we risk making the Constitution unworkable,” he said.To a question whether distortions in social media through selective reporting is a deterrence for judges from posing probing questions or criticising actions of litigants, CJI Kant said such incidents, which have proliferated in the past few years, “makes us more cautious in expression, but it must not deter us from asking probing questions necessary for delivering justice”. On Saturday, he had told the media that he does not get pressured by social media.Asked whether the rich, influential and powerful, represented by renowned senior advocates, get more time from Supreme Court compared to common litigants, the CJI said, “The guiding principle of all courts in the country, including SC, is that the justice system must be equal for all regardless of status, profession, or representation.””Cases are taken up based on objective criteria such as urgency, nature of rights involved and the stage of proceedings. Individual stature or resources cannot, do not, and shall never determine priority or even time allotted to such cases,” he said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSpectacular Tribute: 350th Martyrdom Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Marked with Light-&-Sound ShowSecond Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s 350th Martyrdom Tribute Marked with Devotion in Punjab“Indian market offers smooth trade opportunities,” says ASSOCHAM Secretary‘Why?

NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Monday agreed to hear a plea to do away with the exemption granted to political parties under Income Tax law and to restrain the parties from receiving donations in cash.The court sought responses from Centre and Election Commission on the plea which challenged the validity of a provision of the Income Tax Act that allows political parties to receive “anonymous” cash donations below Rs 2,000.A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta also issued notice to all recognised political parties and sought their response on the PIL.According to section 13A, the income of a political party from the following sources is exempt from tax: income from house property, income from other sources, capital gains and income by way of voluntary contributions the party receives from any individual.The petition, filed through advocate Jayesh K Unnikrishnan, said that clause (d) of section 13A of Income Tax Act is violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, and political parties must disclose the names and all other particulars of persons donating any sum of money and no amount must be received in cash so as to maintain transparency in political funding.”The clause allows political parties to receive anonymous cash donations below Rs 2,000. This lack of transparency deprives voters of crucial knowledge about the source of political funding, including the donors and their motives, preventing them from making a rational, intelligent and fully informed decision when casting their vote. Ultimately, this undermines the purity of the election process and compromises the integrity and accountability of a healthy democracy by allowing the potential influence of undisclosed or tainted money,” the petition said.It said political parties are central entities in a democratic form of govt, and they must function in a transparent manner, with there being special reason for financial transparency to avoid unlawful influences of money power in the policymaking of the political party in govt. Receipt of huge amounts by political parties through purported donations from undisclosed sources is a breach of the public trust doctrine, it said.The bench was initially reluctant to entertain the PIL and suggested that the petitioner move the high court but agreed to examine it after senior advocate Vijay Hansaria stressed that the issue had pan-India implications and involved all recognised political parties.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSpectacular Tribute: 350th Martyrdom Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Marked with Light-&-Sound ShowSecond Day of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s 350th Martyrdom Tribute Marked with Devotion in Punjab“Indian market offers smooth trade opportunities,” says ASSOCHAM Secretary‘Why?
