Bengaluru: In a big relief for the three students from Jammu and Kashmir, who were arrested in Hubballi over allegations of raising slogans in support of Pakistan in February, the Karnataka High Court has observed that no prima facie case of sedition was made out against them
Justice G Narender who was hearing the case said, “prima facie, the complaint does not disclose any material which could be considered as an ingredient constituting the offense as against the petitioners.”
The judge also stated that the prosecutors should have looked at the ‘larger picture’ and at the attempts of the central government to ensure integration of that class of people (Kashmiris) into the mainstream.
However, Justice G Narendra is yet to accept the bail plea of the three students and has listed the case for hearing next on April 24, giving time for the state government to respond.
