Mumbai-Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court demanding the cancellation of the FIR lodged against him by the police. A case has been registered against Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for making fun of the term traitor.
Kamra said that continuing the matter would be directly attacking the constitutional right of speech and expression of citizens. The petition raised the question whether a person’s political upheaval and the right to comment on the activities of the leaders can be considered as a crime.
His comments were about the rift in the Shiv Sena, and took the oath of Chief Minister by Shinde’s Uddhav Thackeray’s army and all this is in record.
After the show, he is receiving threats to kill him and has requested the police to interrogate through a video conference. Kamra’s lawyer. Kotwal and Nya. Justice A.K. Modak was called for immediate hearing.
Kamran Wankil told the court that the Madras High Court has given interim relief till Monday, but the Mumbai Police is still issuing summons to appear. The court has set a hearing on Tuesday.
In the petition, Kamra has demanded protection from strict measures including arrest, seizure of individual electronic equipment and investigation of financial transactions.
It has been claimed that the legal process is being completely misused by a member of the State Legislature deliberately bypassing the criminal justice system, violating the fundamental rights of the citizens. The petition also stated that highly placed political personalities, including people sitting in constitutional positions, have used harsh words about Kamra and demanded strict action.
Last month, the Madras High Court granted interim transit anticipatory bail. He is a permanent resident of Tamil Nadu. The FIR lodged in Nashik Rural, Jalgaon and Nashik (Nandgaon) has also been transferred to Khar police station.
