A Bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana passed the order while hearing a petition filed by the Cure SMA India Foundation. The organisation had accused Raina of making insensitive comments about the high cost of treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and allegedly mocking a person living with the condition.
The petition also sought regulations for online content that allegedly violates the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.
