https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171655 The Supreme Court of India examined whether Section 124A of the IPC and Section 505 of the IPC were valid restrictions on freedom of speech under Article 19(2). It read Section 124A down to apply only where speech or writing has a tendency or intention to incite violence, public disorder, or disturbance of public peace, while protecting mere criticism of Government measures; the provision was upheld on that basis. Section 505 was also upheld because its clauses were held to relate directly to public order and State security. Applying that construction, one conviction was sustained, while the connected matters were remanded for reconsideration. en-us Wed, 24 Jan 1962 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 15:17:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171655 The Supreme Court of India examined whether Section 124A of the IPC and Section 505 of the IPC were valid restrictions on freedom of speech under Article 19(2).
