“Every little thing that we do – and believe me, as judges we are no exception to this – in everything that you do, you face the threat of being trolled by someone who doesn’t share your point of view. Truth has become a victim in the spread of false news,” Chief Justice Chandrachud said.
“We live in an age today where people are short on their patience, they are short on their tolerance, they are short on their patience – which has reminded me to be brief – but people are also short on their tolerance because we are not willing to accept perspectives which are different from our own,” he added.
