The position of sedition laws and the freedom of speech and expression in India: A critical analysis
Authors

Abstract
The recent instance of invoking sedition laws in several instances has again raised questions on the undemocratic nature and validity of these laws in the present constitutional democracy. In a democratic country like India, all citizens have the Fundamental Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression. Although reasonable restrictions to such right allow the law of Sedition, the extent of such law is a question of prime importance. In our country where Rule of Law prevails, arbitrary charging a person for the offence of Sedition is an act, which is not in sync with constitutionalism. This paper is an attempt in bringing together all the different facets of sedition and freedom of speech and expression along with the issues that arise under its ambit.
