The Supreme Court has banned the use of sedition law. The court has said that no new case should be registered under the sedition law i.e. 124A till the reconsideration. The Center will issue a directory to the states in this regard. Along with this, the court has said that the status quo should be kept on the pending cases. At the same time, the court has said that those who are facing trial on charges of sedition and are in jail on this charge, they can file an application for bail in the appropriate courts. Now the matter will be heard in the third week of July.
The hearing on the matter challenging the constitutional validity of the Sedition Law was held in the Supreme Court on Wednesday. During this, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Central Government, told the court that we have prepared a draft of the instructions to be issued to the state governments. According to him, there will be a clear instruction to the state governments that without the approval of the District Police Captain ie SP or higher level officer, FIR will not be registered under the sections of sedition.
