In a significant ruling, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court has reversed a lower court’s decision to dismiss charges against two Kashmiri men accused of engaging in anti-India sloganeering. The High Court deemed the inflammatory slogans targeting the nation as unlawful and detrimental to national interests.
The original case, dismissed by a sessions court, involved accusations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The accused were alleged to have delivered anti-national speeches aimed at inciting public unrest and advocating for the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India. The High Court’s decision reinstates these serious charges.
This ruling underscores the legal consequences of speech deemed to incite violence or undermine national unity. The case highlights the ongoing complexities surrounding freedom of expression and national security in the region.
