New Delhi: The Delhi
High Court Monday granted anticipatory bail to Janata Party leader
Subramanian Swamy, accused of writing an inflammatory article in a
newspaper, after he gave an undertaking that he will not write any
such articles in future.
Granting anticipatory bail to Swamy, Justice M.L. Mehta said: "I
appreciate that you acted responsibly today by giving an
undertaking."
"Though writing an article based on a book is a fundamental right
of a citizen but this right has to be observed with certain
reasonable restrictions which have to be taken care of," the court
said.
Disposing of the case, the court asked Swamy to furnish personal
and security bonds of Rs.25,000 each. "In the event of arrest, he
shall be released on furnishing of a personal bond and a surety of
Rs.25,000 each,"
Swamy moved court seeking anticipatory bail in the case registered
by Delhi police against him Oct 3, 2011, for his article in which
he suggested that voting rights of Indian Muslims be revoked.
The Harvard-educated economics scholar in the article 'How to wipe
out Islamic terror', published July 17, 2011 had suggested that
Indian Hindus collectively respond to terror acts.
