Abstract
Description
This research paper aims to critically examine the constitutional validity of
sedition laws in India through a multifaceted approach. The scope
encompasses a historical review of the evolution of sedition laws, from
colonial origins to contemporary interpretations, emphasizing significant
judicial decisions and legislative amendments. It will conduct a detailed
constitutional analysis, focusing on provisions such as freedom of speech and
expression and reasonable restrictions under the Indian Constitution,
juxtaposed with the application of sedition laws. Case studies of landmark
legal battles will be analysed to understand judicial reasoning and the impact
on fundamental rights. Additionally, an international comparative perspective
will be explored to provide context and contrast with global standards.
