‘Freedom of Speech and Expression’ is one of the inherited fundamental right since the birth of mankind and eventually came under the legal umbrella of various constitutions, conventions, treaties and charters of the world. The world community, states legislatures and jurists have further glorified it to be respected and consistently this fundamental right is also enshrined under Article19 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 with some limitations and restrictions. It struck a balance between ‘freedom and diversity in society’ in terms
of faith, belief and religion, otherwise, the unbridled freedom may create disorder and chaos in the society. The globalized world has taken various legislative steps in furtherance of this Fundamental Right and likewise Pakistan has also promulgated many statutory laws i.e. Defamation Ordinance, 2002 (LVI2002) to be adjudicated in civil nature and also the insertion of section 295A & 295C in Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 (XLV of 1860) and Prevention of Electronic Crime Ordinance, 2009 (VIII of 2009) etc. The prime object is to adjudicate in criminal nature to further rationalize the state laws to secure protected interests of people
to restrict the ‘freedom of speech and expression’, not to hurt the feelings of others, as the society passing through a phase of modern development, invention and advent of new devices of communication and publication. The basic purpose of this research article is to explore all those modern tools of freedom of speech and expression and to rationalize limitations thereof with reference to the Article 19 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 as the world is going
to enter into a new era of development.
