Observing that expressing dissent on law and order situation is a “hallmark of a constitutional liberal democracy” like India, the Allahabad high court has quashed an FIR against a person who had allegedly tweeted that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath “has transformed the state into a jungleraj in which no law and order prevails”.
Expressing dissent on the law and order situation in the state is a “hallmark of a constitutional liberal democracy like ours, constitutionally protected under Article 19 of the Constitution”, the Bench of Justice Pankaj Naqvi and Justice Vivek Agarwal observed while quashing the FIR.
