They should come and sit in the Supreme Court to see how the government is hauled up in favour of citizens&#8217; rights,&#8221; the bench said without naming Dave.<\/p>\n<p>The apex court also agreed to the suggestions mooted by senior advocates Fali S Nariman and Harish Salve that such incidents on social media needed to be regulated.<\/p>\n<p>The concern of the bench found strong support from the two eminent lawyers, who are assisting the apex court in a matter relating to the comment made by former UP Minister Azam Khan in a highway gangrape case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have deleted my Twitter account. It was so abusive,&#8221; Salve said, adding that once when he was appearing in a case relating to a Christian medical college and the subsequent occurences on his Twitter handle forced him to delete it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have stopped looking at them,&#8221; Nariman said, adding that unwarranted comments about almost everything can be found on these platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The bench then said that one of the observations made during the hearing on the Rohingya matter was projected as if an order has been delivered and it became a subject matter of debate.<\/p>\n<p>Anything that disrupts free exchange of views between the judges and the arguing lawyers needs to be curbed, Salve said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench also said that there was misuse of social media platforms and people disseminated wrong information even about the court proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Earlier the right to privacy could have been infringed by the State only. Now such things emanate from private parties also,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing out that a newspaper or a media organisation which gets an audio clip, publishes it without taking any responsibility for its authenticity, Salve asked: &#8220;does it not amount to infringement of privacy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of &#8220;my house is my castle&#8221; is fast fading due to the intrusion of private players, the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>Nariman then said the Indian civil laws were &#8220;defective&#8221; and unable to handle such incidents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is an urgent need to have some kind of regulation,&#8221; Salve said. The bench agreed to the suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the top court today referred to a constitution bench questions like whether a public functionary or a minister can claim freedom of speech while airing views in a sensitive matter which is under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today disapproved the alleged statement of former SCBA President and senior advocate Dushyant Dave that many of its judges are &#8220;pro-government&#8221; and asserted that the top court also takes the government to task.
