Commercial, prohibited speeches not part of fundamental rights, says SC

TREND | 25 Aug 2025

Business Standard

Commercial and prohibited speeches are not covered under the fundamental right, the Supreme Court on Monday said as it asked five social media influencers, including "India's Got Latent" host Samay Raina, to display their unconditional apology in their podcasts or shows for ridiculing persons with disabilities and rare genetic disorders. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the degree of repentance should be higher than the degree of offending and made it clear that the court would consider imposing a penalty on the influencers for offending disabled persons by social media influencers, at a later stage. "It is like purging contempt," Justice Kant said while asking the influencers to apprise the court on how much penalty they were willing to pay, which in turn can be utilised in the treatment of people suffering from rare genetic disorders like spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The five influencers are accused of making fun of the disabled and those suffering from SM

Uttar Pradesh will introduce QR code-based verification of property ownership, integrate land registry data with revenue department records for instant title updates, and simplify rent agreements with minimal stamp duty, Minister Ravindra Jaiswal has said. In an interview with PTI, MoS (Independent Charge) for Stamp and Court Fee, Registration, said the reforms are part of the state's ambitious Vision 2047 plan, with some of the initiatives expected to roll out by March 2026. Currently, it takes 35-40 days after registration for the buyer's name to reflect in revenue records.

The buyer's name will be updated immediately after registration, giving them instant ownership rights, he said. Jaiswal, a BJP MLA from Varanasi, said another major initiative aims to encourage property owners to formalise tenancy agreements by reducing high stamp duty charges. "Many landlords ..
