Which one of the following is a case decided by Federal Court on S. 124A of I.P.C ?

Kedar Nath V/s State
Niharendu Dutt V/s Emperor
Q. Empress V/s Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Emperor V/s Sadashivanarayan

The correct answer is (c).

The case of Q. Empress V/s Bal Gangadhar Tilak was decided by the Federal Court on S. 124A of I.P.C.

S. 124A of I.P.C. is a provision of the Indian Penal Code that deals with sedition. Sedition is defined as an act of inciting hatred or contempt against the government established by law in India.

In the case of Q. Empress V/s Bal Gangadhar Tilak, the defendant, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, was accused of sedition for making certain speeches and writings that were critical of the British government. The Federal Court held that the defendant’s speeches and writings were seditious and that he was guilty of the offense.

The Federal Court’s decision in this case was significant because it established the definition of sedition under Indian law. The court held that sedition is not limited to incitement to violence or overthrow of the government. Rather, it can also include incitement to hatred or contempt against the government.

The court’s decision in this case has been controversial, and it has been criticized by some for being too broad. However, the decision remains the law of the land, and it has been used to prosecute a number of people for sedition in India.

The other options are incorrect because they are not cases that were decided by the Federal Court on S. 124A of I.P.C.

(a) Kedar Nath V/s State is a case that was decided by the Supreme Court of India.

(b) Niharendu Dutt V/s Emperor is a case that was decided by the Calcutta High Court.

(d) Emperor V/s Sadashivanarayan is a case that was decided by the Madras High Court.
