Javed Ahmad Hajam vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition challenging an FIR registered under Section 153-A IPC, which pertains to promoting enmity between groups. The Court noted that while one of the appellant's WhatsApp statuses did not constitute an offence, the other statements could potentially attract the provisions of Section 153-A. The Court emphasized that the determination of whether the appellant's statements promoted disharmony is a matter for evidence, thus allowing the prosecution to proceed.
