Kalaburgi:<\/strong>\u00a0In a major decision, the Karnataka High Court on Friday held that abusive words against the Prime Minister can be derogatory and irresponsible, but do not amount to sedition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court has quashed the case of sedition against the school management, including Allauddin, Abdul Khaleq, Mohammad Bilal and Mohammad Mehatab, and all members of the school management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bench headed by Justice Hemanth Chamdangaudar in Kalaburgi held that the charges made under IPC\u2019s Section 153 (A) for causing disharmony between religious groups are not substantiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe utterance of abusive words against the Prime Minister\u2026 should be hit with footwear is not only derogatory but irresponsible. The constructive criticism of the government is allowed but the constitutional functionaries can\u2019t be insulted for having taken a policy decision for which certain section of people may have objection,\u201d the bench stated.
