Supreme Court today referred the plea of Hardik Patel challenging the invocation of sedition charge against him to another bench.
After hearing the arguments of Hardik’s counsel Kapil Sibal, a bench of Justices V Gopala Gowda and Amitava Roy has referred the plea to another bench without assigning any particular reason.
Earlier, invoking charges including sedition, the state police had said in its FIR that Hardik had exhorted activist Vipul Desai not to commit suicide but rather beat or kill 2-3 policemen.
