Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira quashed the FIR after observing that the tweet “did not cross the Lakshman rekha so as to fall under the category of hate speech.” He said, the tweet neither incited violence/enmity nor did it vilify any community, but merely expressed dissatisfaction and warned of possible youth led protests.

The Madras High Court on Friday quashed a First Information Report (FIR) registered against Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Aadhav Arjuna for an allegedly inflammatory tweet insinuating a revolt against the Tamil Nadu government by youngsters and Gen Z, as had happened in Sri Lanka and Nepal.

Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira quashed the FIR after observing that the tweet “did not cross the Lakshman rekha so as to fall under the category of hate speech.” He said, the tweet neither incited violence/enmity nor did it vilify any community, but merely expressed dissatisfaction and warned of possible youth led protests.
