Jaipur, September 21 (Udaipur Kiran News): A petition has been filed in the High Court against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and former Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, alleging that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) threatens the unity and integrity of the country and discriminates against Muslims on religious grounds.

The petition, moved by advocate Puran Chandra Sen, came up for hearing before Justice Sudesh Bansal. The court has listed the matter for further hearing on September 23 at 2 PM.

The court directed the petitioner to produce his Bar Council of Rajasthan certificate and provide copies of the petition to the Advocate General and the Additional Solicitor General, seeking their assistance in the case. It also asked for records of a complaint earlier filed by the petitioner in the Laxmangarh court of Alwar district and subsequent actions taken.

According to the petitioner, the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 is against the secular spirit of the Constitution and violates Article 15, leading to discrimination against Muslims. He argued that the amendment created unrest across the country, endangering unity and integrity. He further claimed that several communal incidents took place after the amendment, but police either did not register FIRs or filed incomplete reports.

The petitioner also alleged negligence on the part of the police and inaction by the courts. He stated that he had filed a cognizable offence report at Govindgarh police station in Alwar on October 12, 2020, but no FIR was registered. Despite approaching the Superintendent of Police, no action was taken. Later, he filed a criminal complaint in the Laxmangarh magistrate court, which was dismissed on October 21, 2020, citing lack of jurisdiction.

When the order was challenged in the High Court, directions were issued to file a revision petition before the trial court. However, on February 20, 2025, the trial court also dismissed the revision. The petitioner argued that registering an FIR upon receiving information about a cognizable offence is mandatory, but both the police and trial court failed to act.
