'Objectionable' post on PM Modi, RSS: SC grants interim relief to cartoonist Hemant Malviya; issues warning on repeat acts

New Delhi, Jul 15 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted protection from coercive action to a cartoonist accused of sharing alleged objectionable cartoons of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS workers on social media.

A bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Aravind Kumar, however, cautioned if he continued to share offensive posts on social media, the state was free to take action against him under law.

"We will have to do something about it," the bench said as it mulled passing orders on abusive social media posts.
