Person can’t be taken into custody just because he is a Maoist, Kerala HC rules

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

KOCHI: The Kerala high court has stated that just because one person is a Maoist he can't be called a criminal. Also, one can't be taken into custody for the reason that he is a Maoist.

Justice AM Muhammed Mushtaq said that a Maoist can be arrested and put behind the bars only if he or she indulges in unlawful or anti-national activities.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Shyam Balakrishnan of Wayanad stating that he was arrested and harassed by the Thunderbolt team alleging Maoist links.

The court also ordered a compensation of Rs 1 lakh for the petitioner.

The honourable court will wait till an offence is committed . you can show a gun and threaten. Action will be taken only if you are shot dead.


Is becoming member of ISIS or Taliban isn't a crime? Do we need to wait for a massacre?
