Accordingly, the Court rejected the bail application.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In May 2025, at the instigation of Ittefaq Minnat Council&#8217;s (&#8216;INC&#8217;) President as well as one leader, a crowd of more than 500 people assembled and made slogans against the State as well as the recited disputed and objectionable slogan &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">gustakh-e-nabi ki ek saja, sar tan se juda, sar tan se juda<\/span>&#8220;. Upon being prevented by the police, they started pelting stones, firing, damaging police, and private vehicles. Resultantly, the applicant along with six other persons were arrested from the spot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Based on the statements of these arrested persons and on the identification of other co-accused, an FIR was lodged against 25 named and 1700 unknown persons under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803444\" target=\"_blank\">109(1)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803444\" target=\"_blank\">109(2)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803454\" target=\"_blank\">118(2)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803458\" target=\"_blank\">121(1)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803532\" target=\"_blank\">189(5)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803535\" target=\"_blank\">191(2)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803535\" target=\"_blank\">191(3)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803539\" target=\"_blank\">195(1)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803540\" target=\"_blank\">196(1)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803540\" target=\"_blank\">196(2)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803571\" target=\"_blank\">223<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803668\" target=\"_blank\">310(2)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803683\" target=\"_blank\">324(5)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803683\" target=\"_blank\">324(6)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803749\" target=\"_blank\">61(2)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803750\" target=\"_blank\">62<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">BNS<\/a>, 7 Criminal Law Amendment Act and Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001520980\" target=\"_blank\">3<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001520981\" target=\"_blank\">4<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002915278\" target=\"_blank\">Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court examined Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803540\" target=\"_blank\">196<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803653\" target=\"_blank\">298<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803654\" target=\"_blank\">299<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803659\" target=\"_blank\">302<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">BNS<\/a> and stated that BNS has taken care of all such situations where any person disrespects any religion or its God, Prophet, Guru or attempts to promote enmity between the religious groups by chanting any slogan or visible representation, then appropriate punishment has also been provided. Therefore, chanting the slogan &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">gustakh-e-nabi ki ek saja sar tan se juda, sar tan se juda<\/span>&#8221; challenged the sovereignty and integrity of India as well as the Indian legal system, which is based on solemn constitutional objective rooted in democratic principles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Further, the Court stated that the Constitution provides freedom of speech and expression and the right to assemble under Article 19, subject to limitations under Article 19(2) and if a person challenges the law framed under the Constitution or promotes or incites people to commit an offence by providing punishment not prescribed in criminal law, the same must be dealt with strictly. Any slogan by a crowd providing a death sentence contrary to the punishment under the BNS or other criminal law is against the constitutional object, challenges the lawful authority of the Indian legal system, and is punishable under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803492\" target=\"_blank\">152<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">BNS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The blasphemy laws were enacted before 1947 and later expanded in Pakistan to provide life imprisonment or death for disrespect to the Quran or &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Huzur Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.<\/span>&#8221; The slogan was first used during unrest in Pakistan and thereafter spread to other countries including India, where it has been misused to intimidate people of other religions and challenge the authority of the State. Thus, its use in India challenges the authority of law and sovereignty of India and incites people for armed rebellion. There are several instances showing Prophet Mohammad&#8217;s kindness despite disrespect, demonstrating love, compassion, and repelling evil with good. Therefore, raising a slogan for beheading a person who disrespects the Nabi is disrespectful to the ideals of Prophet Mohammad and creates enmity through expression of violence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that the slogan raised by an individual person or by a crowd that &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">gustakh-e-nabi ki ek saja, sar tan se juda, sar tan se juda&#8221;<\/span> was a challenge to the authority of law as well as sovereignty and integrity of India as the same incited the people for arm rebellion, therefore, this act would not only be punishable under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803492\" target=\"_blank\">152<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">BNS<\/a> but also against the basic tenets of Islam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that there was no ground for bail as there was sufficient material showing that the applicant was part of an unlawful assembly, arrested from the spot, and committed an offence against the State. Thus, the Court rejected the bail application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Rihan v.
