Siddhant Mishra

Lucknow based advocate Siddhant Mishra on Thursday wrote a letter to the Chief Justice of India SA Bobde urging him to take Suo moto cognizance on the defamatory tweets of Kunal Kamra against the sitting judge of Supreme Court Hon'ble Justice Dr D.Y Chandarchud.

The illegal arrest is an attack on individual freedom and the fourth pillar of democracy. The more serious charge is violation of the Supreme Court guidelines passed in the judgment of DK Basu vs State of West Bengal AIR 1997 SC 610.

Is the constitution a strait jacket? No, it leaves a plenty of room to change and it makes no attempt to regulate every aspect of human life.

Its high time to regulate the unregulated, uncertified, sexually explicit, pornographic, vulgar, profane and legally restricted contents broadcasted on the online platforms including (but not limited to) Netflix, Amazon etc., by framing legal provisions/guidelines under The Cinematographic Act, 1952
