Bombay HC on petition to suspend Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter account: She also has right to tweet her thoughts

A petition was filed for the suspension of Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter account. But, the petition has been adjourned by the Bombay High Court. A petitioner named Ali Kaashif Khan Deshmukh accused Kangana of causing a tiff between communities. He blamed her tweets for the same.

In his petition, Deshmukh stated that Kangana’s tweet on Maharashtra and its government has been hurtful. Justice SS Shinde and MS Karnik heard the petition yesterday and adjourned it.

According to a report by Times Now, the court stated, “This petition needs to be converted into a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), otherwise many people will read newspapers and start coming to the court stating they are hurt. Constitutional right and constitutional remedy are different. This is a vague petition.”

Justice Shinde further stated, “Any individual can have this account. She also has the fundamental right to have an account to express her thoughts. So, you have to show how your fundamental rights are breached. Unless the case comes under the reasonable restrictions, can we accede to your request? If you have to judge what will you do?”
