View: Path to striking down sedition law still has many hurdles SECTIONS Last Updated: Jul 18, 2021, 09:53 AM IST Share Synopsis There is little doubt that the law of sedition, as it stands, is an invitation for State repression. The language of the Section (124A of IPC) is extremely broad, punishing “disaffection” or “hatred” of the government.

These observations came during the hearing of a constitutional challenge to the law. They have, therefore, raised hopes that sedition, first inserted into the Indian Penal Code in 1870 by the colonial government, and used uninterruptedly for the last 150 years to persecute dissidents, whatever their hue, might eventually be struck down by the court.
