The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to all states and Union Territories (UTs) on a petition, seeking direction to the Centre to advise all police stations against registering FIRs under Section 66A, which was declared unconstitutional by the top court on March 24, 2015.
Despite this Section being struck down by the Supreme Court in 2015 as unconstitutional, the police continues to use it against citizens. This is open disobedience of the apex court.
