Court cannot provide for any additional restriction

(iv) The right under Article 19(1)(a) is limited by restrictions expressly   indicated   in   Article   19(2),   under   which   the restrictions should be reasonable and must be provided for by law, by the State.  Therefore this Court cannot provide for any additional restriction by an interpretative exercise or otherwise;

Unlike Article 25 which makes the right thereunder subject to public order, morality and health, Article 19(1)(a) does not   contain   such   restrictions.   As   held   by   this   Court   in Sakal Papers (P) Ltd. vs. The Union of India29, freedom of speech can be restricted only in the interest of security of 29(1962) 3 SCR 842 20 the State, friendly relations with foreign states, public order, decency or morality or in relation to contempt of court, defamation   or   incitement   to   an   offence.   It   cannot   be curtailed, in the interest of the general public, as in the case of freedom to carry on business
