The petitioner, Jafar Sathick, filed a criminal original petition to quash the FIR registered against him in Crime No. 63 of 2020 by the Boothapandy Police Station. The FIR alleged that the petitioner organized a protest against amendments to the Citizenship Laws that caused public nuisance and hindered traffic. However, the court noted that the protest was peaceful with no untoward incidents. Since the investigation was almost complete, the court quashed the FIR against the petitioner while emphasizing the constitutional right to peaceful protest without arms.
