'Free speech doesn't mean hurting sentiments': Calcutta HC denies interim bail to influencer Sharmistha Panoli

The court also directed the West Bengal government to produce the case diary in connection with Panoli's arrest on June 5, when her interim bail prayer will be heard again. The vacation bench of Justice Partha Sarathi Mukherjee directed that the Garden Reach police station case in connection with which Panoli was arrested will be investigated, while proceedings in all other FIRs in this regard will remain stayed till further orders.

Justice Mukherjee observed that one must be careful in making comments in public in a diverse country like India. "The sentiments of a section of the people of our country have been hurt. We have freedom of speech but that does not mean you hurt sentiments of others. Our country is full of diversity. our Country is diverse, with all persons from different caste, creed, religion, etc... We must be cautious by saying this," the judge remarked.
