Delhi High Court finds element of “political selectivity” in pleas seeking FIR registration against BJP leaders Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Verma for alleged hate speeches.

Court says no exceptional circumstance arises warranting registration of criminal cases.

“The record before us does indicate an element of political selectivity in the manner in which certain individuals and particular speeches have been targeted for action by respective petitioners. The Court, however, does not find it necessary to record any finding on the subjective motive of the petitioners at this stage,” the Court said while dismissing pleas, including the one filed by Brinda Karat.
