Bombay High Court quashes circular prohibiting trusts from using 'human rights', 'corruption' in their names

The Bombay High Court quashed a circular that prohibited trusts from using the terms "human rights" or "corruption" in their names. The circular was issued by the government to avoid the misuse of these terms, but several trusts challenged it, arguing that it violated their rights to freely express their causes. The court agreed with the petitioners, stating that such restrictions infringed upon their constitutional rights, particularly the freedom of association and expression. The ruling allows trusts to include these terms in their names, thus supporting the freedom of non-governmental organizations to define their purposes freely.
