New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday quashed an FIR register against Seniors journalist Vinod Dua for sedition and other offences by a BJP leader from Himachal Pradesh for making comments critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central government.

Supreme court while quashing the FIR said, “Every journalist is entitled to the protection under the Kedar Nath Singh case (which defined the ambit of the offence of sedition under Section 124A IPC).”

In Kedar Nath Singh (1962), five judges of the Supreme Court made it clear that “allegedly seditious speech and expression may be punished only if the speech is an ‘incitement’ to ‘violence’, or ‘public disorder’”.
