Guwahati News Desk: A hate speech allegation brought against Dr Subramanian Swamy in Karimganj Court in 2015 was rejected by the Gauhati High Court on Friday. The complaint was rejected by Justice Manish Choudhury’s court. Today, Swamy was present in the courtroom. According to a writ petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution and Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, all actions and complaints before the Ld Trial Court were nullified.
As abuse of the legal process, the Gauhati High Judicial granted the Writ Petition and declared all court processes and complaints null and invalid. A lawyer filed the complaint, and the Karimganj court issued a warrant for Swamy’s arrest. Swamy has filed a writ petition with the number WP(C) 4186/2015 challenging the subject.
“Today, the Assam High Court dismissed a Hate Speech complaint filed in Karimganj Court against me. For those who filed it and had a warrant issued against them, it’s a crushing order. Satya Sabharwal assisted me with my defence preparation. Others also stepped in to help. In the next tweet, I’ll name them. “VHS Tony was fantastic,” Swamy said in a tweet.
The panel forwarded Swamy’s matter of issuing a summons for allegedly delivering hate speech to the high court or an appropriate court, opting to file concerns on the legality of crucial IPC articles. The panel then postponed the non-bailable warrant’s (NBW) implementation for six weeks, giving Swamy time to seek redress from a competent court. Swamy has asked the Supreme Court to reverse a trial court order in Karimganj, Assam, that imposed an NBW against him for failing to appear in a case of alleged hate speech. After a complaint was filed accusing him of presenting an abusive discourse at Kaziranga University on March 15, Swamy was summoned by the local court on March 19.
The arrest warrant was to be served on or before June 30th, according to the Karimganj court. On May 21, a Supreme Court justice recused himself from hearing his appeal challenging the constitutionality of several “hate speech” laws. The BJP lawmaker also requested a stay on the Karimganj Additional Judicial Magistrate’s decision, stating that he was a defendant in the statements.
