    Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud will hear a petition filed by Alt News Journalist Mohammed Zubair seeking to quash the FIRs registered against him by the UP Police. 

    On July 18, Top Court had directed the Uttar Pradesh Police to not take any precipitative action against fact checker Mohammed Zubair in connection with the 5 FIRs registered against him in Lakhimpur Kheri, Muzaffarnagar, Ghaziabad and two at Hathras districts over his tweets till July 20.

    The Court had on July 8, 2022, granted Zubair interim bail in the Sitapur FIR, and on July 13, a bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud extended the interim bail in the Sitapur case until further orders and posted his plea to quash the FIR for disposal in September. On July 15, the Patiala House Court granted him regular bail in the Delhi Police FIR.

    FIRs were registered against him by the UP Police for a tweet in which he allegedly called 3 Hindu seers- Yati Narasinghanand Saraswati, Bajrang Muni and Anand Swaroop as 'Hate mongers'.
