2020 (6) TMI 766 - HC - Indian LawsCompensation for violation of the petitioner’s fundamental rights - HELD THAT:- While the petitioner had impleaded only the State/Government of NCT of Delhi as respondent in the matter, the complainant has also now been impleaded as party-respondent No.2 in the petition. Issue notice - List on 23.07.2020. Seeking stay of investigation and further proceedings against him in the subject FIR - HELD THAT:- It is note-worthy that the offence comprised in section 505(2) IPC is in pari materia with that comprised in section 153A IPC, inasmuch as it refers to acts and omissions that are intended to create enmity, hatred or ill-will between different religions or communities - Although, as submitted at the bar, the petitioner has already been granted interim protection in anticipatory bail proceedings by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, this court is of the prima-facie view that further investigation or proceedings pursuant to the FIR are likely to cause unwarranted and unjustified harassment to the petitioner. Without forming an opinion on the merits of this matter, this court is persuaded to think that the filing of the complaint and registration of the FIR deserve to be considered - List on 23.07.2020.
