By Relief for journalist Vinod Dua as Supreme Court quashes sedition case
The Supreme Court on Thursday quashed an FIR against journalist Vinod Dua who was booked for sedition over his YouTube show and granted him relief.
The Supreme Court said that every journalist is entitled to protection, any detention or FIR is subject to the law laid down earlier. However, the court declined to order the setting up of a committee to review any complaints of sedition against journalists.
The Supreme Court bench of Justices UU Lalit and Vineet Saran, however, declined the prayer of Vinod Dua that no FIR can be registered against any media personnel with 10 years’ experience unless cleared by a committee.
