The Madhya Pradesh High Court has quashed an FIR against a YouTube journalist over his report on Ganesh Visarjan procession violence, holding that reporting an actual incident is not promoting enmity under Section 196(1) BNS.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that a cheque endorsed “Not Negotiable” still attracts liability under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Justice Himanshu Joshi dismissed a drawer’s plea, rejecting the argument that such endorsement nullifies penal consequences.
