The Supreme Court of India has recently made significant rulings in favor of free speech. In a notable judgment, the court restored bail to YouTuber 'Saattai' Durai Murugan, who was arrested for making derogatory comments against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, questioning, "If everyone who makes allegations on YouTube is arrested, how many will be jailed before elections?" Additionally, the Supreme Court stayed proceedings against Tamil Nadu minister I Periyasamy in a corruption case before the trial court. These decisions underscore the court's stance on the importance of free expression and the judiciary's role in safeguarding it against undue criminal proceedings.
