flag India's Supreme Court rejected calls to investigate Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma over alleged hate speech, directing petitioners to the Gauhati High Court instead.

flag The Supreme Court of India has declined to initiate a Special Investigation Team probe or direct an FIR against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over alleged remarks referencing Muslims as "Miya," directing petitioners to seek redress in the Gauhati High Court instead. flag The court emphasized that such matters should first be adjudicated by high courts, cautioning against bypassing lower judicial forums. flag The petitions, filed by Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind and others, accused the CM of hate speech in a January 27, 2026, speech, claiming his comments incited communal hatred and violated constitutional principles. flag The court did not rule on the allegations' validity but urged an expedited hearing in the High Court, reaffirming the importance of procedural integrity and the hierarchical structure of India’s judiciary.
