Further, it said that the petitioner may not be arrested consequent to the impugned FIR and directed that the protection should be available either till the next listing or till submission of police report, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n

The petitioner submitted that from the allegations in the FIR, no offence under Section 504<\/a> IPC<\/a> or Section 66 of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008<\/a> is made out. The statement attributed to the petitioner which is the basis of the FIR is that the Prime Minister has been called for a virus which requires an urgent antidote. It was submitted that these words cannot be said to be derogatory or indecent or to be such, which would fall within the purview of Section 504<\/a> IPC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The accused submitted that the comment in any case was a political comment and was not made to provoke the Prime Minister to break the public peace.<\/p>\n

The Court said that prima facie, the words attributed to the accused do not fall within the purview of Section 504<\/a> IPC<\/a>, therefore, the matter requires consideration.<\/p>\n

The Court said that the petitioner may not be arrested consequent to the impugned FIR and directed that the protection should be available either till the next listing or till submission of police report, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n
