A Delhi court on Wednesday dismissed CPM leader Brinda Karat’s application looking for enrollment of FIR versus BJP MPs Anurag Thakur and also Parvesh Verma for supposedly making hate speeches.
Extra Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Pahuja dismissed the application noting that for the prosecution of the respondents, prior sanction of experienced authority, that is the central government, was required under section 196 CrPC.
Throughout debates, when Karat’s legal team was asked if they had acquired assent, they responded in the negative. The court kept in mind: “Admittedly, there is no prior permission obtained by the complainants from the qualified authority to prosecute the respondents for offences affirmed in the problem. Thus, because of the cleared up position of legislation, the problem is worthy of to be rejected for being not tenable in the eyes of the law. Appropriately, the same stands dismissed.”
The counsel for the complainant had declared that “permission is just required before taking cognizance by the court as well as not before the passing of the order of enrollment of FIR .”.
