Supreme Court Grants Protection From Arrest To AAP Leader Sanjay Singh In 'Hate Speech' Cases

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh protection from arrest in all FIRs against him and issued notice on why FIRs should not be clubbed. In a separate writ petition, Singh has moved the Supreme Court seeking quashing of multiple FIRs lodged against him in various districts of Uttar Pradesh, saying they have been "maliciously instituted to unleash political vendetta". However, on that day, the High Court judgment was not on record and hence, the bench had refused to stay the warrant Background As per PTI reports, Singh said he had conducted a press conference at Lucknow of Uttar Pradesh on August 12, last year wherein he had alleged that the state government was favouring one particular caste over the others. The AAP leader said after the press conference, multiple FIRs were registered against him at the instance of the BJP's members in various police stations in different districts of Uttar Pradesh. The said FIRs have been filed against the petitioner out of the malice and sheer political vendetta with intent to coerce, harass and intimidate the petitioner as a part of larger ploy to muzzle the opposition leaders, from speaking up against the government of Uttar Pradesh, Singh's application said.
