Allahabad HC: Free speech doesn't cover abusing PM

阿拉哈巴德高院：言论*由不包括辱骂总理

PRAYAGRAJ: Observing that "the Constitution recognises freedom of speech but this right does not extend to hurling abuses against the PM and other ministers", the Allahabad high court has refused to quash an FIR lodged against one Mumtaz Mansoori of Jaunpur. Mansoori had been booked for making derogatory remarks against PM Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah and other ministers on social media.

普拉亚格拉杰：阿拉哈巴德高等法院认为“宪法承认言论*由，但这一权利并不会延伸到对总理和其他部长的辱骂”，该法院拒绝撤销对江布尔的蒙塔兹·曼苏里提起的诉讼。曼苏里因在社交媒体上诋毁莫迪总理、内政部长阿米特·沙阿和其他部长而被立案。

Dismissing Mansoori's petition, a division bench comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Rajendra Kumar observed, "Although the Constitution of this country recognises freedom of speech with every citizen, but such right does not extend to hurling abuses or making derogatory remarks against any citizen, much less the PM or other ministers of the Government of India (sic)."

法官Ashwani Kumar Mishra和Rajendra Kumar驳回了曼苏里的申请，他说：“虽然这个国家的宪法承认每个公民都有言论自 由，但这种权利并不延伸到对他人进行辱骂或发表贬损言论，更不用说辱骂印度总理或其他部长了。”

It was alleged in the FIR registered in 2020 that Mansoori used highly derogatory remarks against Modi, Shah and other Union ministers. He had been booked under IPC Section 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and Section 67 of IT Act (punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form).

在2020年的立案中，曼苏里被控对莫迪、沙阿和其他联邦部长发表了高度贬损的言论。已根据IPC第504条(故意侮辱，意图挑衅、破坏和平)和IT法案第67条(对以电子形式发布或传播淫秽材料的惩罚)对其立案。

Subsequent to this, a criminal case was registered against Mansoori at Meerganj police station. Challenging the FIR, Mansoori had moved the high court with a plea to get it quashed.

随后，Meerganj警察局对曼苏里提起了刑事诉讼。曼苏里提出了挑战，向高等法院申诉，要求撤销诉讼。

However, refusing to quash the FIR, the court on July 15 dismissed the writ petition, observing: "The FIR clearly discloses commissioning of cognizable offence. We find no good ground to interfere in the present writ petition filed with a prayer to quash such an FIR. The authorities shall be at liberty to proceed in the matter in accordance with law and conclude investigation at the earliest."

然而，法院拒绝撤销，于7月15日驳回了申请，并表示:“立案清楚披露了罪行。我们发现没有充分的理由来干涉目前的请求调审令，撤销诉讼。当局应可自由地依法处理此事，并尽早结束调查。”

Dignity of every humanbeing is untouchable. Its irrespective of ones social and official status. Therefore the verdict should have been..." constitutional right to freedom of speech does not cover to abuse anybody (any humanbeing) in our country." . That would have been a perfect verdict.

每个人的尊严都是不可侵犯的。这与一个人的社会地位和官方地位无关。因此，判决应该是：“宪法规定的言论自 由不包括在我们国家辱骂他人。”

那将是一个完美的判决。

He is the P.M, he can say anything about other leaders. These are very small issues, the biggest issue is,Why is the rupee crashing so badly? What are you doing about the unemployment? Why is the inflation going upward? What happened to all your promises? If these issues are addressed, and solved, the whole country will fall at your feet. I hope this is not abusing!

他是总理，他对其他领导人说什么都可以。我想对总理说，这些都是小问题，最大的问题是，为什么卢比暴跌如此严重？

你打算怎么解决失业问题？

为什么通货膨胀在加剧？

你的那些承诺呢?

如果这些问题得到解决，整个国家就会拜倒在你的脚下。

我这不是辱骂

So a PM of a nation with 136 crore people finds himself insecure based on a remark in social media. In other countries Presidents get banned permanently from Twitter and yet life goes on as usual.

一个13.6亿人口国家的总理，社交媒体上的一句话让他感到不安全。在其他国家，总统被永久禁止使用推特，但生活仍照常进行。

为什么当莫迪称索尼娅为“泽西奶牛”、称拉胡尔为“杂交小牛”时，法院保持沉默?
