The Delhi Government is seeking legal advice with regard to granting sanction for prosecution in the JNU sedition case.

The claims were negotiated by the AAP Government and the Delhi Police after a court questioned the Department for filing a charge- sheet in the Sedition case against former JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar and nine others without obtaining the required approval from authorities.

The rules allow 3 months’ time to the Government for granting approval. Delhi Police took three years to file the charge- sheet. The Government must be allowed due diligence and legal advice at its disposal before taking a decision.

However, if the Delhi Government spends the three-month period without taking any decision, the approval is considered to be granted.

The Delhi Police had filed the charge -sheet in the court on January 14, saying approval for prosecution was pending before the Delhi Government.
