Earlier this month, in its 279th report, the Law Commission of India (an advisory body for legal reforms under the Ministry of Law and Justice) released its recommendation on the “Usage of Law of Sedition”. The recommendation comes after the Central Government’s response last year where it told the Supreme Court of India that the government would re-examine the necessity of retaining Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC) and determine its relevance. It has been recommended by the 22nd Law Commission of India to retain Section 124A with some amendments. Section 124A defines the law of sedition as “attempts to excite disaffection against the Government established by law.”
