आईपीसी की धारा 295 ए धार्मिक भावनाओं को ठेस पहुंचाने के लिए जानबूझकर और दुर्भावनापूर्ण किये गए कृत्यों से संबंधित है। अदालतों ने यह निर्धारित करने के लिए एक उच्च सीमा तय की है कि इस अधिनियम के तहत कोई अपराध हुआ है या नहीं। यह सुनिश्चित करना भी है कि सामाजिक सुधार लाने के लिए अच्छी भरोसेमंद आलोचना को दंडित नहीं किया जा सकता है। इस प्रावधान के तहत, सच्चाई कोई एक वैध रक्षा नहीं है यदि अन्य सभी अवयव साबित होते हैं – मुख्य रूप से जानबूझकर और दुर्भावनापूर्ण इरादा से की गयी आलोचना। सार्वजनिक संदर्भ को संरक्षित करने के लिए इस संदर्भ में गिरफ्तारी और दृढ़ विश्वास का खतरा आवश्यक नहीं है, और यह अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता को शांत करने का एक बड़ा खतरा पैदा करता है।
