CHHATTISGARH HIGH COURT REJECTS PETITION SEEKING CRIMINAL ACTION AGAINST AAMIR KHAN OVER HIS ‘INTOLERANCE’ REMARK

26th November, 2020

The Chhattisgarh High Court has rejected a criminal petition filed against the actor after he made a controversial statement on intolerance in the year 2015. 

While hearing the case, the high court said that the determination of whether the statement given by anyone threatens the integrity and security of the country is a matter of investigation by the Center and the State government. Therefore, no person can be allowed to interfere in this matter.

The Petitioner earlier filed a complaint in the lower court against the statement, which was dismissed by the Ld. Trial Court. Thereafter, the Petitioner filed a revision petition which was also dismissed by the Sessions Court. Since the revision petition was also rejected, Divan further petitioned the high court through advocate Amikant Tiwari.
