The High Court of Karnataka has scrapped a sedition case filed against the management of a school in Bidar for organizing a play against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizenship (NRC). The FIR was filed against four members of the management of the Shaheen school in Bidar in 2020. Sections 504 (insulting someone intentionally), 505(2), 124A (sedition), 153A (causing disharmony between religious groups) read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) were pressed upon them. Nilesh Rakshala, an Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activist, had filed the complaint against the school. The play was staged by the students of class 4, 5, and 6, alleging that it insulted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The play was staged in the school on January 21, 2020, and became the center of the controversy after its video was uploaded online by a parent. The order of quashing was dictated by the HC on Wednesday, and the copy of the judgment is awaited.
