Sedition was introduced in 1870 to the IPC Though the purpose for the introduction of S124A IPC is to suppress the Indian voices during the freedom movement ,continuation of that provision post independence allows political parties for misuse . Law commission report 2018 states that sedition must be used to maintain public order but not to curb the freedom of speech. In 2019 according to NCRB states the rise in cases but drops in conviction shows the actual purpose which is to suppress the freedom to criticize . India describes fundamental rights as ‘magnacarta’ of Indian Constitution, enables a provision for these many years which interferes with the rights of citizens. Sedition as an offence under S.124A of IPC posses a threat to democracy and violates article 19(1)(a) of Indian Constitution. Although in Kedarnath case the apex court tried to strike the balance between freedom of speech and restriction but still it must be considered as a threat. A much needed step was taken by apex court by protecting two news channels from AP Government, A politician and 6 senior journalists and in holding the cases regarding the sedition calling sedition as ‘Chilling Effect on speech’. Is it Sufficient for a largest democratic country??
