The Supreme Court has granted interim protection to journalist Abhishek Upadhyay, who is facing an FIR from the Uttar Pradesh Police over an article discussing caste dynamics in the state administration. In its observation, the court stressed that criminal cases should not be filed against journalists merely because their writings are perceived as critical of the government. "Merely because writings of a journalist are perceived as criticism of the Government, criminal cases should not be slapped against the writer," the Supreme Court stated while providing relief to Upadhyay. The case against Upadhyay remains under investigation, but the interim protection ensures no immediate coercive steps will be taken. Supreme Court Rejects Pleas Seeking Review of Constitution Bench Judgement, Reiterates ‘Quota Within Quota’ Permissible.
