A bench of Justice J Chelameswar and Justice Rohinton F Nariman called liberty of thought and expression as "cardinal". The bench said, "The public's right to know is directly affected by section 66A of the Information Technology Act."The strongly worded judgement also said that, "it is clear that Section 66A arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately invades the right of free speech".The two judges have become heroes to the ones rejoicing the verdict.Justice Jasti Chelameswar (left) and Justice RF Nariman (right).I 💟Rohinton Nariman, J. #66A #censorship #FoE— Pranesh Prakash (@pranesh_prakash) March 24, 2015Justice Nariman replaces all Indian cricketers, filmstars, you are our Youth Icon #No66A , Bonus points for quoting Shakespeare— Mishi Choudhary (@MishiChoudhary) March 24, 2015Justice Nariman you rockstar!!!— अंशुल (@Ghair_Kanooni) March 24, 2015I asked Rohinton Nariman when he became a judge to ensure free speech in India.
