Supreme Court Grants Interim Protection To Indore Law College Professor In Case Over 'Hinduphobic' Book In Library

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice and sought the response of the state of Madhya Pradesh with respect to the anticipatory bail plea of Dr. Mirza Moziz Beg, an assistant professor at Indore’s Government Law College, which has been embroiled in controversy over the presence, in its library, of an allegedly ‘Hinduphobic’ and ‘anti-national’ book titled Collective Violence and Criminal Justice System by Dr. Farhat Khan. That is why we are issuing notice.” The complaint against Beg and others, including the author and the publisher of the book, and the principal of the law college, Dr. Inamur Rahman, was lodged by one Lucky Adiwal, an LLM student and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad leader who accused them of promoting enmity between different groups and hurting religious feelings. The appeal has been preferred against an order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, by which his application for anticipatory bail was rejected, “taking note of the fact that the allegation is that being a professor in the law college, he incited the students of the college to read controversial book available with the library with an intention to spread hatred in the mind of student of Hindu religion.” The court further observed, “It appears that present applicant is the professor making statement which promotes enmity, hatred and ill-will between different sections of society, which hurts sentiment of Hindu community.” Earlier, in December of last year, the Supreme Court had granted Rahman interim protection from arrest after Madhya Pradesh High Court refused to grant him interim relief. Are you serious?” Case Title Mirza Moziz Beg v. State of Madhya Pradesh | Special Leave Petition No.
