Dictating Order :
"Court perused four videos today containing speeches of Kapil Mishra , Anurag Thakur , Parvesh Verma and Abhay Verma.
Court has issued notice in an application moved by SG seeking the impleadment of Union of India in the present matter
'Please express our anguish regarding the registration of FIR to the Police Commissioner.' - Justice Muralidhar
The court asks the police officer to communicate to the Commissioner of Police to immediate register the FIRs in respect of inflammatory speeches.
The court has said that it's not restricting itself to the 3 videos of speeches made by BJP leaders. All the videos concerning this matter shall be communicated to the Commissioner.
'Just register FIRs. You showed alacrity in lodging FIRs for arson, why aren't you showing the same for registering FIR for these speeches' - Justice Muralidhar
When you've registered FIRs for damages to property, why aren't you registering it for these speeches. Don't you want to even acknowledge the presence of a crime - Justice Muralidhar asks police
"When the SG himself is saying that these videos are inflammatory, why aren't you registering the FIRs? The entire nation is asking that question.", Justice Muralidhar asks the police officer.
What is causing us concern is the same slogans are being repeated in all videos. When you don't register FIR, a wrong message goes out which won't deter people from using this slogan - Justice Muralidhar.
'Consequences of not registering the FIRs is what we're concerned about' - Justice Muralidhar
Justice Muralidhar is asking the police officer in court about the speeches of BJP leaders
