Allahabad HC grants bail for ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ Facebook post
The Allahabad High Court granted bail to Sajid Chaudhary, accused of posting "Pakistan Zindabad" on Facebook. The court noted that while the post may violate Section 196 BNS (promoting enmity), it does not meet the stricter criteria of Section 152 BNS, the sedition replacement law. Freedom of speech should not be curtailed unless it threatens India's sovereignty.
