In my opinion, one of the worst forms of curtailment of the freedom of speech is charging a person with sedition. Way back in 1962, a constitution bench of the Supreme Court in Kedar Nath Singh v. State of Bihar considered the constitutionality of sedition in Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code as a penal offence While it is important for each one of us to exercise our fundamental rights within reasonable limits laid down by law, there is a greater obligation on the establishment to ensure that the laws are not twisted, misused or abused in such a manner that citizens are deprived of fundamental rights that impact the liberty of an individual.
