Thats Great decision by SC. It justifies the principle of natural justice. Jharkhand has no jurisdiction whatsoever over what has been said in Mumbai. It just shows the mentality of those filing such cases and lack of proper deligence on part of court as well while admitting such cases. And neways whatever he says is very much relevant if one does not believe then look at Tamilnadu. They just do not tolerate any attack on their culture/language. If a marathi Manus does the same then it becomes a crime. What kind of people are these who claim to be law makers(read as bunch of idiots...I cannot call them as jokers since it was reserved for indian cricket selectors by Amarnath)

It is indeed sad that the SC has ruled in this manner. People like Thakrey deserve no sympathy at all.

It's indeed a shame

The decision of the Apex Court is in right direction. While no one supports Raj Thakre for his remarks and hate, filing cases in courts which have no jurisdiction over the incident that took place in Mumbai and admitting such cases by such courts and even High Courts supporting it is definitely against natural justice. This tendency of filing cases outside the jurisdiction area also reflects bias by the concerned parties - be it the litigant or the courts. Raj Thakre must get punishment for his utterances, but through the natural way of justice. Hope our courts will take lessons from this and will not admit such cases in future.

Its very sad that in times of such turmoil our honorable court has let this 3rd rate politician Raj Thakre, who has the potential of becoming India's Bhindranwale No.2 has been let off the hook so easily. Trouble makers like him should be made an example of
