In Atul Mishra v. Union of India (2026), the Supreme Court heard a writ petition against the title of a proposed film that allegedly stereotyped a community. The Court held that vilifying any community on grounds of caste, religion, language or region is constitutionally impermissible, and stressed that fraternity, a Preamble value, protects the dignity, unity and integrity of the nation. It upheld free speech under Article 19(1)(a), subject to reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2), but said such restrictions must rest on necessity rather than public sentiment alone.
