New Delhi, July 18, 2022 (PPI-OT): The Indian Supreme Court on Monday protected Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair from any precipitative action in relation to any of the five FIRs filed against him in Uttar Pradesh. The court pronounced the order while hearing Mohammed Zubair’s plea seeking to quash all FIRs lodged against him in UP for hurting religious sentiments.
The SC fixed the date for hearing Zubair’s case in detail on July 20. In a big relief to Mohammed Zubair, the apex court expressed concerns over the slew of FIRs registered against him and said that filing of back-to-back FIRs against Zubair is troublesome. The court also issued a notice on Zubair’s plea and directed the apex court registry to list it on July 20.
Calling it a ‘vicious cycle’, a bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice AS Bopanna orally observed that, what seems to be happening is, that new FIRs are being filed or Zubair is being produced in FIRs, the moment he is getting bail.
