Allahabad High Court Grants Bail To Pakistani Citizen For Comment ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ On Video

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to a Pakistani citizen arrested for making a video allegedly containing the slogan “Pakistan Zindabad.” The Court observed that mere expression of a slogan, without evidence of incitement or public disorder, cannot constitute a cognizable offence. The bench emphasized the importance of balancing public order concerns with personal liberty and freedom of speech, highlighting that preventive detention or prolonged custody should be justified by credible evidence.
