The District and Sessions Court of Rajkot has rejected Bail application of an Advocate Sohil Mor, in a Sedition Case registered against him. Additional Sessions Judge KD Dave denied his Bail.
Samir Khira, an Additional Public Prosecutor, claimed that the Accused was charged with a serious Offence under Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), as well as promoting an entity between two groups under Section 153(A) of the Indian Penal Code. It was also added that the Bail can not be granted as the Investigation is still going on.
Mor was Arrested after Jyotiba Sodha filed the Complaint Alleging that the 44-year-old Advocate made Derogatory Remarks about Maratha ruler Shivaji in a WhatsApp Group of residents of Syama Prasad Mukherjee Township.
“We brought to the Court’s attention that Mor was an Advocate and a Notary who had full knowledge of the Law but had willingly broken the Law and, Prima Facie, had committed a serious Offence like Sedition and thus does not deserve Bail,” Khira said.
Mor is currently in Judicial Custody.
