New Delhi, Mar 6: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea seeking framing of a proper mechanism to deal with alleged misuse of the sedition law by the government machinery. A bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar dismissed the plea filed by a social activist and said it was open for the petitioner to approach the appropriate authority.
At the outset, the apex court told advocate Utsav Singh Bains, appearing for the petitioner, that he could not seek quashing of an FIR in a sedition case filed against the management of a Karnataka school for allegedly allowing students to stage an anti-CAA and anti-NRC drama.
Bains told the bench that he was not just pressing for a prayer to quash the FIR but the petitioner has also sought a direction for framing of a proper mechanism to deal with the alleged misuse of the sedition law.
"Let the affected party come and we will hear them. Why it should be done at your instance," the bench said, refusing to entertain the petition.
The petition had sought quashing of the FIR against the principal and other staff of the Shaheen School at Bidar who have been booked under sections 124A (sedition) and 153A (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Indian Penal Code.
The plea had also sought an apex court direction for a proper mechanism to deal with alleged government misuse of the sedition law.
Section 124A of the IPC says that "whoever brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards... the Government shall be punished with imprisonment for life...".
The plea had sought a direction to the Centre and the Karnataka government "to quash the FIR registered in connection of seditious charges against the school management, teacher and a widowed parent of a student for staging a play criticising CAA, NRC and NPR."
The petition had claimed that the police "also questioned students, and videos and screenshots of CCTV footage showing them speaking to the students were shared widely on social media, prompting criticism."
The drama was staged on January 21 by students of the fourth, the fifth and the sixth standard.
The sedition case was filed based on a complaint by social worker Neelesh Rakshyal on 26 January.
The complainant alleged that the school authorities "used" the students to perform a drama where they "abused" Modi in the context of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens.

@Sini Mol.
It is permitted to enter women into masjid in Islam. In gulf countries there is a separate place devided in the masjid for women to pray. It is common in all the public places that provides women a separate place, like bus seat or in the a
when will Muslims abandon darga which has no place in Islam ?
Haha Fooolish People.. Let the wrath of Allah be on the Grave Worshipers who is not ready to accept the truth.
Allah Messenger (SAWS) you will indeed follow the way sof those you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter the lizards hole,you will follow them. We (the sahaba) asked is it the jews and christians? He replyed who else!.

@Sini Mol,
For your kind information, Islam not at all prohibited women to enter Masjid. I can quote many hadith about this. Some of the Pseudo Muslims in our country opposing this. They are doing opposite what Islam says. E.g. Women are not allowed

Believers NEVER despairs, They already KNOW the FITNA (trials) of this ERA... and Most of the MUSLIMS never understand such FITNA unless they FIRMLY GRIP their FAITH in ALLAH. (They will never bow or ask with the dead or to get barakah from the GRAVEs)
BELIEVERS SOLELY believe & Depend on ALLAH alone.... ALLAH is enough for them. May ALLAH include us in that Group.
They already know everything is with the permission of ALLAH, They already know cos the Prophet Muhammad pbuh said that a time will come that the BELIEVER will be very FEW but MUSLIMs will be a lot...
This TUSSLE is for the GOOD... Most of the MUSLIMs understood the POWER OF MONEY. They REALISED Who is working for the MOney and who is working for the FAITH.
RESPeCT the Auliyas the way prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us. Not the way which was never seen in the times of the SAHABAS... and the 3 generations... We might fall into SHIRK (Associating partners with ALLAH) . May ALLAH protect us from falling into SHIRK unknowingly...
Alibaba Chalees chor

Im a regular follower of Dr.Zakir Naik where he says in his speech that it is permissible for womens to enter the Mosque to pray with Allah. As Prophet pbuh wife's used to go.But in Kerala Women are not allowed.Muslims follow same Quran then why there is two rules in Islam. Please explain.
