Supreme Court Sedition Hearing: On Monday, two days after firmly defending the sedition law and asking the Supreme Court to dismiss challenges to it, the government said it had decided to review the legislation.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today asked the government to reply by tomorrow on whether the sedition law can be paused and people charged under it can be protected while the colonial-era law is being reviewed. A day after the government said it had decided to review it, the Supreme Court expressed concern about those already facing sedition charges.

"We will give you time till tomorrow morning to take instructions from the government. Our concern is pending cases and future cases, how the government will take care of those till it re-examines the law," Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said.

"In order to protect the interest of people who are already booked under the sedition law as well as future cases, Centre to file response on whether those can be kept in abeyance till law is re-examined," the Chief Justice directed.

Earlier, the court asked the government tough questions on its request for more time in order to review the law and about incidents of misuse of the law.

"The state says they are reexamining. But we cannot be unreasonable. We will have to decide how much time has to be given," Chief Justice Ramana said.

"Can someone stay in jail for months? Your affidavit says civil liberties. How will you protect those liberties," the Chief Justice questioned.

The lawyer for the petitioners, Gopal Sankaranarayan, said it was becoming a "pattern" with the government to seek more time to delay important cases, referring to the marital rape hearing.
