The Court said, “In conclusion we quash the FIR registered against Vinod Dua. But the Court rejected Dua’s plea for setting up of a high-level committee in each state to examine sedition charges slapped against journalists of 10 year standing.”

On October 6, 2020, the bench of Justices U.U. Lalit and Vineet Saran, had reserved their verdict after hearing arguments for Dua, the Himachal Pradesh government and the complainant in the case.

The Delhi High Court today extended the interim protection provided to journalist Vinod Dua in an FIR accusing him of making statements conducive to public mischief in his show on YouTube.

Our democracy in true sense is in threat if our press is not allowed to function freely, said Senior Advocate Vikas Singh during the hearing of plea filed by veteran journalist Vinod Dua seeking quashing of FIR registered against him.
