Abstract
The case of Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Pvt. Ltd. and Others v. Union of India (UOI) and Others (1986) involved a writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Indian Constitution. The Supreme Court recognized the significance of freedom of expression and the press, stating that any fiscal imposition on the newspaper industry should be subject to judicial review. The Court emphasized that curtailments on freedom of speech and expression are not justified in the general public's interest. The judgment upheld the importance of a free press in a democratic society and called for prudence when imposing taxes on the newspaper industry. This paper conducts analytical study on the landmark case law Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) pvt. Ltd. and Others v. Union of India (UOI) and Others (1986)
