In another turn of events in Gurdas Maan case, Punjab and Haryana High Court has asserted that mere utterance of religiously sensitive remarks, without evidence of intentional insult, does not automatically warrant legal action.
Justice Sandeep Moudgil also clarified that there must be a deliberate act or conduct intended to insult for an offense to be constituted. The assertion came just over a month after Justice Moudgil’s Bench issued notice of motion to Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan, who was facing the allegations of hurting religious sentiments under Section 295-A of the IPC.
The matter pertains to the case wherein in a viral video, Maan passed a statement that Laddi Shah was a descendant of Guru Amar Dass.
