The case
Faizal was taken into custody on May 17 after allegedly raising anti-national slogans and shouting “Pakistan Zindabad, Hindustan Murdabad” in public, prompting charges under Section 153B of the IPC for promoting enmity and disrupting public harmony.
According to reports, granting him bail, a bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Paliwal ordered that till the trial of the case goes on, Faizal Khan will have to go to Misrod Police Station in Bhopal on every 1st and 4th Tuesday of the month and salute the national flag at the police station building. Apart from this, he will also have to raise the slogan ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ 21 times.
He has to arrive at the police station between 10 am and 12 o' clock on those two days in a month and mark his presence.
Faizal moved the high court seeking bail claiming that he has been falsely implicated in the case. However, during the hearing, his counsel accepted that his client was seen shouting the anti-national slogan. Therefore, the advocate requested he should be released on bail by imposing some stringent conditions.
Considering all the facts and arguments in the matter, the single judge bench agreed to grant him bail against the condition of saluting national flag and chanting ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’.
