Supreme Court steps back from monitoring all hate speech cases
The Supreme Court has decided it won't personally track every hate speech incident in India.
Instead, it trusts local police, state governments, and high courts to handle these cases.
This came up after a petition accused some people of calling for a boycott against a community.
Why does this matter?
For anyone concerned about hate speech or justice, the court's move means you'll need to go through local channels first—like your police or the jurisdictional high court—if you want action taken.
The judges said that high courts, police stations, and legislative measures are already in place to handle such matters.
They also reminded everyone that hate speech isn't limited to one group, and complaints shouldn't be selective.
The next update on this issue is set for December 9.
