The Supreme Court on Monday asked how raising the slogan of “Jai Shri Ram” a criminal offence.
A bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and Sandeep Mehta made the observation while hearing a plea challenging the Karnataka High Court’s order quashing the proceedings against two persons for allegedly shouting “Jai Shri Ram” inside a mosque.
“They were shouting a particular religious phrase or a name. How is that an offence?” asked the bench on the plea filed by the complainant Haydhar Ali C M.
The apex court also questioned the complainant how the persons, who allegedly came inside the mosque and shouted the slogan, were identified.
