Sedition Law: A comparative view in India with other countries

Abstract

On one hand, The Constitution of India, under its Article 19 (1) (a), provides the right to freedom of speech and expression to its citizens while on the other hand, under the Article 124A of Indian Penal Code (IPC), the restrictions to such freedom of speech and expression have been laid down in the form of ‘Sedition Law.’ There are two parts in which the research has been divided, the first one describing, ‘Whether the Sedition law acts genuinely’, and the second part describing, a comparative study of Sedition Law being practiced in India and other countries.
