Union of India].In response to Sharma's request to have the FIRs quashed or, alternatively, to have multiple FIRs combined and sent to Delhi, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala gave notice. "The listing date for this case is August 10, 2022. Additionally, copies of the main writ should be sent to the respondents with the notice. Serve by way of standing counsel and dasti notice. As a temporary measure, it is mandated that Nupur Sharma not be subjected to coercion "a bench decision. The Court announced that it would investigate the possibility of letting Sharma ask one of the High Courts to throw out all FIRs."In order to have all FIRs filed against her thrown out, the petitioner came before this court. Since the High Court has the authority to approve her request for quashing under Article 226 of the Constitution, this court relegated the petitioner to seek an alternative remedy on July 1, 2022. The petitioner has since filed a miscellaneous application, in which she highlights, among other things, the urgent need to safeguard her life and liberty as guaranteed by article 21 and the fact that it has become impossible for her to use the alternative remedy granted by this court "Observed the Court in its ruling.In this regard, the Court took notice of the fact that a new FIR had been filed against her in West Bengal, and that the Kolkata Police had issued a lookout circular that would result in an immediate arrest and a denial of relief if the High Court was not contacted. Because of these occurrences, the court declared that it would consider how to give the petitioner access to an alternative remedy. In order to investigate the possibility of permitting Sharma to file a single High Court petition to contest all FIRs, the Court sent notice on the States of West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Telangana.In issuing notice and providing temporary relief to Sharma, the Court stated, "Let notice be issued to respondents in order to investigate such modalities." Sharma had already petitioned the highest court, pleading for the transfer to Delhi of the initial information reports (FIRs) that had been filed against her across the nation due to her comments on the Prophet Muhammad. However, on July 1, the same bench that heard the case today rejected the plea and strongly criticised the defendant. The bench had said that Sharma should apologise to the entire country because he was solely to blame for starting fires all over India."the manner in which she sparked feelings across the nation. The situation in the nation is entirely the fault of this woman. We witnessed the argument on how she was incited. But it is terrible how she said all of this and then claimed to be a lawyer. She needs to apologise to the entire nation, "said Justice Kant. Sharma then went on to withdraw her argument. She subsequently submitted the current application to request the former petition's revival. Sharma's attorney, Senior Counsel Maninder Singh, claimed that she had been receiving threats when the case was called for hearing today."Life is actually in danger. According to rumours, someone came from Pakistan to kill her, and some people who were intending to assassinate me were caught in Patna "Said Singh. The Court then said that sending Sharma to other High Courts was not its original goal. "We never intended for you to travel widely. Perhaps we failed to communicate this or you missed it "Bench made a comment. "Life is under significant threat more and more often. How these circumstances turn out has been seen before. Everything that has occurred has occurred. I had to withdraw, and since then, three to four more FIRs have been filed. You are the Article 21 protector "Singh argued. The Court then went on to provide temporary safety to Sharma.
