The Supreme Court refused to entertain the petition on Monday filed by YouTuber Manish Kashyap seeking to club all the FIRs registered against him in Bihar and Tamil Nadu over spreading fake news about the attacks on Biharis in Tamil Nadu through fake videos uploaded on his YouTube channel.
The Bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice PS Narasimha and Justice JB Pardiwala further rejected the plea filed by the YouTuber seeking to quash his detention under the National Security Act.
However, the Apex Court granted liberty to Kashyap to move the High Court for relief.
The top court of the country told Manish that it cannot lend its ears to the matter, since the YouTuber had uploaded such content on his channel, which had the potential to create disquiet in the stable state of Tamil Nadu.
