Govt has filed affidavit in SC after 5 May order asking it to clarify its stand. Court is hearing petitions demanding that the sedition law be declared unconstitutional.

The Narendra Modi government has told the Supreme Court (SC) that it has decided to “re-examine and re-consider” the provisions of the law on sedition (Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, or IPC) in the wake of concerns raised about its “application and abuse”.

In an affidavit submitted Monday before the apex court, which is hearing a batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of Section 124A of IPC, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said: “The Government of India, being fully cognisant of various views being expressed on the subject of sedition and also having considered the concerns of civil liberties and human rights, while committed to maintain and protect the sovereignty and integrity of this great nation, has decided to re-examine and re-consider the provisions of Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code which can only be done before the competent forum.”
