The Delhi High Court, on Friday, quashed a trial court’s order to register an FIR against Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s working president, Alok Kumar, for purportedly inciting violence against the Muslim community.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma stated that no incriminating evidence was found against Kumar, and no case could be established against him.
The Court emphasized that there was no material supporting the claim that Kumar had incited communal disharmony.
Additionally, the judge cautioned trial court judges to exercise caution while issuing such orders to prevent igniting communal disharmony.
The case pertained to a plea filed by Kumar, challenging the trial court’s order of February 18, 2020, which instructed the police to file an FIR against him and another individual, Swamiji from Kashi, for allegedly inciting violence in Delhi’s Lak Kuan area.
The trial court’s decision was based on a complaint filed by activist Harsh Mander, who alleged that Kumar and Swamiji delivered inflammatory speeches after a temple was vandalized in the Lal Kuan, Hauz Qazi area in July 2019.
In his plea, Kumar asserted that he was not present at the rally where the alleged speeches were made.
