Continued Detention Of Saudi Born "Rohingya Refugee" In Jail Despite Completion Of Sentence Violates Article 21: Madhya Pradesh High Court

The Allahabad High Court examined the case of Mohammed Zubair, co-founder of Alt News, who posted a tweet allegedly inciting social disharmony. The Court ruled that while freedom of speech is a fundamental right, it must be exercised within the boundaries of law. The Court held that Zubair’s tweet violated public order and could be seen as inflammatory. The ruling underscores the balance between free speech and the need to maintain social harmony, especially when public statements can lead to unrest or harm communal relationships. The judgment calls for accountability in the use of social media platforms.
