The High Court of Karnataka in Kalaburagi has quashed the sedition case booked against Bidar’s Shaheen School for staging a play by schoolchildren on the theme of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in 2020.
After hearing the criminal petition filed by Allauddin and others, Justice Hemant Chandangoudar quashed the case on Wednesday.
The sedition case filed against the institution after schoolchildren staged a satirical play criticising the BJP-led Union government’s CAA and NRC had hit the headlines in January 2020.
