A case of alleged sedition has been filed in a local court against noted
writer Arundhati Roy for her controversial remarks on Kashmir.

The complaint, lodged by one Ashish Kumar Singh in the Chief Judicial
Magistrate's (CJM) court of Vijay Kumar here yesterday, was today
transferred to the court of Judicial Magistrate (first class) of Amit
Shekhar.

Singh, a resident of Ranchi, demanded action against Roy under section 124
of Indian Penal Code (sedition) for her remarks on Kashmir at a seminar in
Delhi last week.

Roy had shared the dais with pro-Pakistan hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali
Shah Geelani and pro-Maoist leader Vara Vara Rao among others at the Delhi
seminar.

Roy had said "Kashmir has never been an integral part of India. It is a
historical fact. Even the Indian government has accepted this."
