New Delhi: The sedition law is under trial in the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana made a scathing remark that if a party does not want to listen to the opinion of the other party, there is no accountability that sedition laws are easily used against them.

CJI NV Ramana told Attorney General KK Venugopal that your government has repealed many old laws, I don't know why your government is not considering repealing Section 124A of the IPC. On this, the Attorney General on behalf of the Centre has opposed the repeal of the Sedition Act. On this, CJI NV Ramana questioned Attorney General KK Venugopal as to why the law is necessary even after 75 years of Independence. This is a colonial law, which was used by the British rulers on those who opposed the struggle for freedom, against whom the sedition law was used, including Mahatma Gandhi and Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

Attorney General KK Venugopal said that Section 124A of the IPC should not be repealed, its importance remains for the unity and integrity of the country, a guideline should be framed for its use so that its legal utility and purpose is maintained.
