HC relief for duo who shouted 'Jai Shri Ram' at Karnataka mosque

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday quashed the criminal case lodged by the police against two persons in connection with allegedly raising “Jai Shri Ram” slogans inside a mosque.

The single division bench headed by Justice M Nagaprasanna, looking into the appeal petition by the accused persons, while passing the order, mentioned that it was not understandable how the raising of “Jai Shri Ram” slogans would hurt the religious feelings of any community.

The accused were charged under the IPC Section 295A for allegedly raising ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans in a mosque.
