Giving a clean chit to the two leaders, the court observed that there cannot be any democracy without the freedom of choice and free speech.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Wednesday quashed two separate FIRs registered against former AAP leader Kumar Vishwas and BJP's Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga by the Punjab Police over their statements against AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
Giving a clean chit to the two leaders, the court observed that there cannot be any democracy without the freedom of choice and free speech.
Justice Anoop Chitkara said that its non-interference in the Vishwas' case would result in a miscarriage of justice, while the continuation of criminal proceedings against Bagga shall amount to an abuse of the process of law.
The judge invoked Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which preserves the inherent powers of the High Court to prevent abuse of the process of any court or to secure the ends of justice, and issued two separate orders to quash the FIRs that were registered in April.
