‘Organiser cannot be held accountable for hate speech by speaker’: Delhi High Court

An individual organising a public meeting cannot be held accountable for a hate speech delivered by one of the participants over which such the organiser had no control or responsibility, the Delhi high court observed on Friday. The court’s observation came as it set aside a 2020 trial court order to register an FIR against VHP leader Alok Kumar.
