Mohammed Zubair's Plea against UP Police FIRs-Supreme Court Hearing-LIVE UPDATES

UP AAG : The violence has happened only after the tweet was made.

AAG refers to tweets on Ghaziabad Loni incident.

UP AAG : Here is a person who instead of informing the police of illegal speech or hatred, he has been taking advantage of speeches and videos which have the potential of creating a communal divide and he has been sharing them repeatedly.

UP AAG : And he gets paid for the tweets. More malicious the tweets, more payment he gets. He has admitted. He has got over Rs 2 crores. He is no journalsit. 

UP AAG Garima Prashad : It is repeatedly said the accused is a journalist. But he is not a journalsit. He calls himself a fact-checker. Under the guise of fact checking, he is promoting malicious and provocative content.

Grover : In this age of digital age, the job of someone who is debunking false information may draw the ire of others. But the law cannot be weaponised against him

Grover : The dormant FIRs are activated the moment I secure bail in any case. Dormant FIR gets suddenly activated. That is why I say there is more than meets the eye. There is a scenario of encricling me.

Grover says she seeks clubbing with Delhi FIR and interim bail in all the UP cases.

Justice Chandrachud: Ms.Grover, you are not before us to Delhi FIR. Admittedly there is a considerable overlap between Delhi case and other cases.

Justice Chandrachud: Once you are not before us for Delhi police FIR quashing, then we may have to accept a nuanced approach towards this

Grover refers to Bhajan Lal case : Where a criminal proceedings are mala fide or maliciously instituted to wreak vengeance, they can be quashed.
