SC on Delhi HC ruling: Should courts be so touchy about criticism?

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply.

From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later.
