HC rejects youth's plea for quashing of FIR for post against PM

1 2 Prayagraj: The Allahabad high court has dismissed a petition filed by a 24-year-old man seeking quashing of an FIR lodged against him over his alleged social media posts on Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the India-Pakistan ceasefire agreement on May 10, 2025, after four days of intense military confrontation. Though the petitioner's counsel argued that the alleged posts had been made after he was carried away by emotions, a division bench comprising Justice JJ Munir and Justice Anil Kumar, rejected this submission on June 3. The bench observed, "A post written by the petitioner against the Prime Minister regarding his decision to desist from war etc. carries scurrilous language against the head of the government. Emotions cannot be permitted to overflow to an extent that constitutional authorities of the country are dragged into disrepute by employment of disrespectful words. " Furthermore, the court said that it was not a fit case to interfere with the impugned FIR in exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The petitioner, Ajeet Yadav, is facing an FIR under sections 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 152 (act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India), 196 (1) (promoting enmity between different groups), 353 (2) (statements conducing to public mischief) of Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS) over three alleged posts he made on Facebook. In the alleged social media posts, the 24-year-old man purportedly used several derogatory terms directed at the PM.
