The Supreme Court Tuesday refused to stay the non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh in connection with 'hate speech' cases.
Singh had moved the SC seeking quashing of multiple FIRs lodged against him in various districts of Uttar Pradesh
In a separate petition, Singh has also challenged the January 21 order of the Allahabad High Court that refused to quash the FIR in Lucknow.
The order, which was uploaded on the court website on Monday, rejected Singh's plea to stay the summons issued to him by an MP-MLA court. A single bench of Justice Rakesh Srivastava rejected Singh's contention that the MP-MLA court's verdict, passed on December 4, was not "law friendly" as the government order for sanction of prosecution was not legal.
