It was the countrys first-ever codification of offences and penalties. But it was only in 1870 that Section 124A was slipped into Chapter VI (Of Offences against the State), defining the offence of Sedition in a statute for the first time in the history of common law.<br />When India became independent in 1947, the Constituent Assembly expressed strong reservations against sedition as a restriction on free speech as it had been used as a weapon against freedom fighters, many of whom were a part of the Assembly. Nehru vocally opposed it. And yet, not only has Section 124A survived, it has been widely used against popular movements and individuals speaking up against the establishment.<br />Where did this law come from? How did it evolve? And what place does it have in a mature democracy?
