Supreme Court On Online Trolling

Published by Webster

New Delhi: A rueful Supreme Court slammed social media trolls and their actions as “really atrocious”, acknowledging that even the highest judicial forum in the country is not immune. “If we pass an order in favour of someone… the other side trolls the judge,” Justice Ujjal Bhuyan said Monday. “Trolling in social media is really atrocious and everyone is affected. Judges are also trolled,” he said, to which his colleague, Justice Surya Kant said it is better to ignore such attacks. “A large section of irresponsible people have, unfortunately, got access to these platforms. They are completely insensitive (and) are not aware of their duties. They only think about some alleged rights, and will continue to attack all institutions… they have to be ignored.” The court’s comments came as it granted bail to Bibhav Kumar, the aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Mr Kumar was arrested 100 days ago for allegedly assaulting Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, who is a member of Mr Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party, at the Chief Minister’s home. During the …
