The court was hearing a petition filed by a Muslim man from Uttar Pradesh who said that he was assaulted and abused in the name of religion, but police did not register a case in response to his complaint. https://thewire.in/law/sc-on-hate-crimes-primary-duty-of-state-is-to-protect-citizens-no-compromise-at-all
A two-judge bench of Justice K.M. Joseph and Justice B.V. Nagaratna said “there cannot be any compromise on hate speech at all”, while adding that only when the state acknowledges such crimes can a solution be found.
“When action is not taken against hate crimes then an atmosphere is fostered which is very dangerous and it has to be rooted out from our lives. There cannot be any compromise on hate speech at all,” the court said.
The court then directed the Uttar Pradesh government to file a detailed affidavit on the matter and posted it for further hearing on March 3. On October 21, 2022, the top court had asked Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Delhi to crack down on those making hate speeches, observing, “where have we reached in the name of religion, what have we reduced religion to is tragic”.
It had ordered the three states in question to promptly register criminal cases against the offenders without waiting for a complaint to be filed.

The News Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA) on Monday, January 30, issued “guidelines for prevention of hate speech” which direct editors, editorial personnel, anchors, journalists and presenters who are part of its member organisations to refrain from using “language and agenda-driven words”, “terms and adjectives” and “all forms of expression” which among other things advocate violence or engender hatred against individuals or communities.

These guidelines come just about a fortnight after a bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Justices K.M. Joseph and B.V. Nagarathna, had, while hearing a batch of cases involving allegations of hate speech, asked the independent broadcasting self-regulatory body about the action taken against anchors for hate speech. “How many times have you taken off anchors? Have you dealt with anchors in the way you send a message?” Justice Joseph had asked.
It is also pertinent to note that the new guidelines issued by NBDSA do not cover two major channels – Sudarshan TV and Republic TV – which had walked out of the NBA a few years ago.

“Hindu society is at war.” This is how Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), defends the hate speech and bigotry by the votaries and foot soldiers of Hindutva against Muslims and Christians. The fact that hate speech and violence have now become torrential and are getting more brazen with each passing day is explained by the fact that the war is not small. It is a 1000-year-long war, which has not ended. It is a continuous war, like the permanent revolution of Mao.
Bhagwat is neither the first nor the only one to suggest that there is valid a reason for the hate speech directed against Muslims and Christians. Many have called for Hindus to take up arms, to keep them ready to chop off the heads of ‘enemies’. In fact, Bhagwat’s claim was preceded even by the Delhi police, which told a court in Delhi that the call to Hindus to arm themselves in a mass meeting in Delhi was actually an exercise to protect ‘community ethics’.
