Advocate Katnamane Vittala Gowda, who claims to be Kodagu district president of a group called Prajaranga', filed the complaint on Monday, accusing Ramya of “insulting” Indian patriots by “praising” Pakistan.

He urged the court to direct the police to book Ramya for “sedition” and for “disturbing” peace in Karnataka.

JMFC court judge, Shyam Prasad, admitted the complaint and posted the hearing to August 27. Ramya had made the remark at a convention in Mandya on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president Dinesh Gundu Rao defended Ramya for her remark on Pakistan.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said she was only sharing her experience of her recent visit to Pakistan. She has not made any controversial statement, he said.

Very Low level of thinking.

The Gov't of India is keeping their embassy and maintaining all normal relations with Pakistan like these with any other countries.

Praising anybody is always the sign of your goodness. But condemning blindly is bad.
Find the reasons why is it happening. All because of Kashmir issues not solving politically. Until the issue is fairly solved, this unrest between 3parties will carry on with all future generations.
Unfortunately innocent civilians and soldiers have to pay the price.

Study the problem, think and advise the government to find a fair solutions

Bengaluru, June 11: Amulya Leona, a college student, who was charged with sedition for raising "Pakistan zindabad" slogans in Bengaluru, has finally been granted bail. 

The court had denied her bail yesterday, saying she might abscond. But her lawyers had been pursuing another way of getting her out of jail where she has spent nearly four months.

Ms Leona's advocate, Prasanna R, said that the delay of the state in submitting a chargesheet in the case beyond the stipulated time meant she was eligible for "default bail".

"The default bail application was moved before the magistrate under whose jurisdiction the alleged crime was committed. The chargesheet has not been submitted by the state within 90 days. So default bail has been granted. We had moved the default bail plea on May 26 and again on May 29 when the court told us the earlier mail IDs had been disabled. A physical application was filed on June 2. The state filed the chargesheet on June 3," the lawyer said.

While the state tried to argue that they were entitled to an extension in the time allotted, the court hearing this aspect of the case gave an order favourable to Ms Leona. The process is on to release her.

The arrest of Ms Leona during a rally against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA in Bengaluru had led to a debate on the use of sedition charges.

The woman on a Facebook post had also said "zindabad" to many countries including India and Pakistan. She did also try to chant "Hindustan zindabad", but was soon silenced and whisked away. She was accused of sedition, causing enmity between communities and causing deliberate mischief.

Bidar, Mar 4: The Principal District and Sessions Court in Bidar, on Tuesday, granted conditional bail to five functionaries of Shaheen School management — Abdul Qadeer, Allauddin Pasha, Mehtab Sait, Bilal Inamdar and Abdul Khaleq — who moved anticipatory bail in a sedition case slapped against their school recently.

Conditions

Senior advocate B.T. Venkatesh from Bengaluru argued for the petitioners. Managoli Premavati Mallikarjuna granted bail on certain conditions, including execution of personal bond of ₹2 lakh each.

The sedition case was filed against the Shaheen School management for its children staging a play as part of their annual day celebrations on January 21, in which a character had allegedly delivered a dialogue against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While Nazbunnisa, the mother of the child who had allegedly delivered the dialogue in the play, and Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of the school, were arrested, they were subsequently released on bail last month.
