The Karnataka High Court quashed criminal proceedings against two men, Keerthan Kumar and Sachin Kumar, who were accused of insulting religious beliefs by shouting “Jai Shri Ram” inside a mosque. The court ruled that this act did not “outrage the religious feelings of any class.” The two men, from Dakshin Kannada district, had been charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 295A, 447, and 506, following a complaint lodged in connection with the incident that occurred in September last year. As per the complaint, the two had entered a local mosque one night in September last year and shouted “Jai Shri Ram.”
