&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Supreme Court does initiate contempt cases but only in the rarest of rare cases, Attorney General KK Venugopal told NDTV.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Freedom of speech on social media should not be curbed and any move to do so may invite litigation, the government&amp;#39;s top law officer has said, adding that it is unbecoming of a &amp;quot;healthy democracy&amp;quot;. The Supreme Court does initiate contempt cases but only in the rarest of rare cases, Attorney General KK Venugopal told NDTV.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;For a healthy democracy, open discussions on social media should not be curbed. The Supreme Court normally does not react to criticism unless lines are crossed,&amp;quot; Mr Venugopal said in an interview amid instances of states charging individuals for social media posts and the top court&amp;#39;s decisions being questioned or criticised on Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;To curtail this would be unnecessary and the government should not bring any move to curtail this freedom. We need open democracy and open discussions,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If something was pointed out, the Supreme Court would &amp;quot;be happy&amp;quot; to deal with it, said the Attorney General.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The Supreme Court would not go out of its way unless contempt is committed. The Supreme Court initiates contempt only in rarest of rare cases,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Supreme Court does initiate contempt cases but only in the rarest of rare cases, Attorney General KK Venugopal told NDTV.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Freedom of speech on social media should not be curbed and any move to do so may invite litigation, the government&amp;#39;s top law officer has said, adding that it is unbecoming of a &amp;quot;healthy democracy&amp;quot;. The Supreme Court does initiate contempt cases but only in the rarest of rare cases, Attorney General KK Venugopal told NDTV.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;For a healthy democracy, open discussions on social media should not be curbed. The Supreme Court normally does not react to criticism unless lines are crossed,&amp;quot; Mr Venugopal said in an interview amid instances of states charging individuals for social media posts and the top court&amp;#39;s decisions being questioned or criticised on Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;To curtail this would be unnecessary and the government should not bring any move to curtail this freedom. We need open democracy and open discussions,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If something was pointed out, the Supreme Court would &amp;quot;be happy&amp;quot; to deal with it, said the Attorney General.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The Supreme Court would not go out of its way unless contempt is committed. The Supreme Court initiates contempt only in rarest of rare cases,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
