May 17, 2022 15:39
The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted three months of interim bail to Jitendra Narayan Singh Tyagi, formerly known as Wasim Rizvi, in connection with the investigation into the hate speeches at the Hardiwar Dharam Sansad held in December last year.
A bench headed by Justice Ajay Rastogi granting interim bail to Tyagi on medical grounds said he has to give an undertaking that he would not indulge in hate speech and not give any statement to electronic or digital or social media.
It asked Tyagi's counsel senior advocate Vikas Singh to advice his client not to indulge in hate speeches and harmony has to be maintained in the society.
The counsel appearing for the Uttarakhand government submitted that the maximum punishment for the offence under which Tyagi was booked has three years of punishment.
"The moment Tyagi comes out on bail he should not make a statement on hate speech again," the advocate said. "We have to maintain communal harmony at all costs. If he makes hate speech his bail should be cancelled automatically without notice. As regards his medical condition is concerned, it is stable. He has some cardiac problems," the counsel told the bench. -- ANI
