[JUDGMENT] #SupremeCourt @VinodDua7

Supreme Court bench led by Justice UU Lalit to shortly deliver judgment on a plea filed by senior journalist Vinod Dua to quash a #Sedition case registered against him in Himachal Pradesh for his @YouTube telecast on the #DelhiRiots
#VinodDua was accused of spreading fake news. Besides sedition, the other charges include causing public nuisance, printing of defamatory matter & making statements conducive to public mischief

Court to decide on the important point of applicability of #Sedition law in this case
Justice UU Lalit: There are two prayers. One was for quashing the FIR and one was directions regarding formation of a committee. Preliminary objection was taken by respondent that instead of Article 32 petitioner should be relegated to criminal court

#SupremeCourt @VinodDua7
BREAKING: Justice Lalit: We have quashed the proceedings and FIR.

SC:Every journalist will be entitled to the protection under Kedar Nath Singh (sedition) judgment. We reject the prayer that no FIR can be registered against any media personnel with 10 years experience unless cleared by committee
SC: We have rejected the committee formation prayer since it will be directly encroaching upon the legislative domain. However, the FIR against Vinod Dua stands quashed.
