The Story in Brief
The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday directed police to serve a notice under Section 35(3)(3) of the BNSS on former minister and YSR Congress Party leader Ambati Rambabu, adjourning his petition to quash a police case to September. Justice Y. Lakshmana Rao heard the petition after Guntur TD president Pilli Manikyala Rao lodged a complaint alleging Rambabu posted a morphed video of Union minister Pemmasani Chandrasekhar on Instagram, intended to defame him and disrespect the national flag. The next hearing is scheduled for September.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that this is a simple case of political vendetta ignores the fact that the court merely directed a notice, not quashed the FIR. Both sides claim the law is on their side, but the real test is whether the alleged morphed video actually violates the flag code or is protected speech. A September hearing will settle whether the complaint has substance or is merely a tool to harass an opposition leader.
