Cases relating to ‘Sedition’ and those registered under the UAPA have been discussed widely in the last few years. Data indicates that the three states of Manipur, Jammu & Kashmir, Assam accounted for more than 70% of the cases registered under UAPA between 2014 & 2020. On the other hand, the nine states of Assam, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Bihar, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, and Manipur accounted for more than 75% of the cases registered under Sedition.

Recently, the Tripura Police charged lawyers and social media handles under the anti-terrorism law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (UAPA). The social media handles were booked for making posts, which according to the police, had the ‘potential to flare up communal tension’ in the state. Besides, there have been numerous discussions surrounding the legislations of UAPA and Sedition law in India for the past few years, on the utility and use of these laws. Even the Supreme Court, earlier this year, expressed concern over the misuse of the sedition law- Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)  which was framed in the colonial era. The court asked the Union government why the law should not be struck down while hearing a petition filed by a retired Army general, challenging the constitutional validity of Section 124A (sedition) of the IPC.
