The matter therefore requires investigation in the least.<\/p>\n<h3>Court&#8217;s Assessment:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Perusing the facts of the case and the complaint against the petitioners, the Court took note of the IPC provisions stated in the complaint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Examining Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">295-A<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a> which deals with deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs, the Court expressed its confusion as to how if someone shouts &#8216;Jai Sriram&#8217; it would outrage the religious feeling of any class. &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">When the complainant himself states that Hindu &#8212; Muslims are living in harmony in the area the incident by no stretch of imagination can result in antimony<\/span>&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court relied on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Mahendra Singh Dhoni<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Yerraguntla Shyamsundar<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/macmgf75\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2017) 7 SCC 760<\/a>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">wherein the Supreme Court had held that any and every act will not become an offence under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">295-A<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a>.
