💨 Abstract

Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has approached the Bombay High Court to quash an FIR lodged against him for allegedly making a "traitor" remark about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Kamra argues that the case infringes on his constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression. He claims the remarks were about political developments and actions of leaders, and that his right to comment on such matters should not be criminalized.
