When there is a gap in legislation, it often falls to the court to fill the gap. This is absolutely true in the case of digital rights in India. As the law plays catch up more often than not, the courts have stepped up to safeguard citizen’s rights. In this episode, Shashank and Tejaswita speak with Shrutanjaya Bhardwaj on the role of the judiciary in expanding digital rights in India, the challenges faced by the bar and the bench, and the role of academic institutions within the ecosystem.

Besides his law practice, he teaches, researches and writes on constitutional interpretation, free speech, judicial process, reservations, media law, human dignity and religious freedom.
