Two of the three Supreme Court judges who heard this case were not amused. Chief Justice Anand (along with Justice Kirpal) found that Roy had prima facie misrepresented the proceedings which had taken place before the Supreme Court.88 It was held that the freedom of speech and expression did not include ‘freedom to distort orders of the court and present [an] incomplete and a one-sided picture deliberately, which has the tendency to scandalise the court’.89 It was held that Roy had used her literary fame to misinform the public, and her writings had the tendency to create prejudice against the court.90 However, no action was taken against her. Justice Bharucha disapproved of Roy’s words, but decided not to take any action against her because ‘the Court’s shoulders are broad enough to shrug off [her] comments’.91
