The petitioner Vijay Gopal had read about orders prohibiting public assembly near examination centres and had posted the following comment on X:
“Law & order has become a joke in Telangana… If you cannot do your job without being so insecured (sic) all the time, you should find another job. This is nothing but abuse of office. lt is just (an) exam, not some war. Prohibitory orders, silly!”
Soon thereafter, the police registered an FIR against him under Section 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 505 (2) (statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes) of the Indian Penal Code.
