CITIZENS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION, HOWEVER , HOW FREE IS FREE SPEECH IS A QUESTION OF RESTRICTIONS UNDER CLAUSE (2) TO (6) OF ARTICLE 19.

Article 19(1) of the Constitution of India provides that all citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression;to assemble peacefully and without arms, to form associations and the Unions to move freely through out the territory of country to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India and to practice any profession or to carry on profession trade or business. Clause (2) to (6) of article 19 , however provide for the operation of existing laws and empowers the state government to make any law imposing reasonable restrictions in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India or public order or morality, as such question about how free is free speech of the Article 19(1) definitely creating restrictions, the press has the right of free propagation and free circulation without any previous restraint on publication. If a law were to single out the press for laying down prohibited burdens on it that would restrict the circulation, penalise its freedom of choice as to personnel, prevent newspapers from being started and compel the press to give aid, this would violate Article 19(1) (a) and would fall out side the protections Afforded by Article 19(2) . Yet Supreme Court of India favoured free speech by striking down section 66.A of the information technology Act, however now data protection Act weakening the use and exercise of the empowerment and creating controversial discussion and order to settle the free speech and expression and definitely it is becoming disproportionate and excessive measures that violates freedom of speech expression and autistic creativity required for the offensive electronic communications for which the courts may interfere for the vision under provision made by the Act and restrictions imposed for law of limitations.
