freespeech Noting that free speech is not an absolute right, the Supreme Court held that poetic licence does not mean having nationally revered figures like Mahatma Gandhi mouth obscene words. A Bench of Justices Dipak Misra and P.C. Pant set these standards while considering the plea of Devidas Ramachandra Tuljapurkar, who was charged with publishing the �obscene� Marathi poem titled Gandhi Mala Bhetala (I Met Gandhi) in which the Mahatma is a character. The poem was published in 1994 in an in-house bank magazine. Source: The Hindu
