The Supreme Court Chief Justice Mr Nv Ramana, the other day, rebuffed the existence of 75-year-old sedition (Rajadroham) law adopted from 1935 act framed by the British. The CJI alleged that the law was brought to force to silence Gandhi and Tilak. The CJI expressed his concern over the misuse of the law. According to him, "If the police want to fix somebody they can invoke section 124A."

Well the CJI might be right to some extent in his perspective. But, like many other issues, section 124A too is a debatable topic. There is another side of the coin which sounds the need for the effective implementation of the section. Checkout the following.

* Currently, some cunning media houses are mingling with opposition parties at the centre and are scripting wicked strategies to dissolve the government. Doesn't their ploy come under sedition? Shouldn't they be punished for the country's security?

* Masking themselves as dignitaries, some reputed personalities are indulging in anti-national acts. Should they be relaxed from the court cases and imprisonments?

THEN HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?: 

* There should be an extensive discussion and debate on section 124A across the nation.

* Instead of abolishing the act, some amendments should be made to ensure the law becomes more powerful.

* The police should be honest in filing 124A cases and the amendments of the law be made accordingly. 

ADVICE: Instead of bluntly arguing one sided against the law, the disadvantages to be erupted for cancelling the section should also be taken into consideration by the honourable judges.
