SC Rules Peaceful Protest by Homebuyers Not Defamatory
Millennium Post Delhi
|April 18, 2025
Quashes criminal case
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that peaceful protests by homebuyers over grievances against developers do not amount to defamation, while setting aside criminal proceedings initiated against a group of residents who had displayed banners critical of a builder.
A bench comprising Justices K V Viswanathan and N Kotiswar Singh held that consumers are entitled to express their dissatisfaction in a lawful and non-abusive manner. "A right to protest peacefully without falling foul of the law is a corresponding right, which the consumers ought to possess just as the seller enjoys his right to commercial speech," the court stated.
