Along with making unfair remarks about Lord Shiva, Hemant Malaviya, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s objectionable cartoon, has approached the Supreme Court. Hemant has demanded anticipatory bail. The Supreme Court has said to hear his petition on Monday.
On July 8, Hemant’s plea was dismissed by Justice Subodh Abhyankar of Indore Bench of the High Court. RSS workers, Prime Minister and other people’s indecent cartoon and comment about Lord Shiva were considered by the High Court misuse of freedom of expression.
On behalf of the cartoonist, lawyer Vrinda Grover put the case in front of the bench of Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Joyamalya Bagchi. He said that a case has been registered for cartoons posted in 2021. The section of BNS which is imposed in the FIR, is sentenced to 3 years. Nevertheless, the High Court refused anticipatory bail.
An FIR was lodged against Hemant Malaviya in May this year by RSS worker and lawyer Vinay Joshi of Indore at Lasudia police station. It was said in the FIR that Hemant has tried to hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus by putting objectionable material and spoil social harmony.
