New Delhi: The hearing on the sedition case was held in the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The Central Government appealed for adjournment of the hearing on the matter, while the petitioner's counsel Kapil Sibal opposed it. However, the top court has given one more day to the Central Government to reconsider the sedition law. The court has given the Center time till tomorrow i.e. Wednesday morning to clarify its stand on the pending cases and how the government will handle the future matters.

Earlier, the central government has given an explanation before the court on changing its stand in the sedition case. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that keeping in mind the national interest and the unity and integrity of the country, the Central Executive has taken this new decision. However, this will not remove the provision of punishment. No one can say that those who work against the country should not be punished. The government is making provision for further improvement in this, so the court should postpone the hearing for now.

Congress leader and lawyer Kapil Sibal, appearing for the petitioners, objected to this and said that the government is taking its cover, while we have challenged the provision 124A of the IPC. Whatever the new amended law will come, we have challenged the existing provision. After this, the Supreme Court has asked the central government to clarify its stand by tomorrow.
