The High Court has granted two weeks to the state government to file its reply on a public interest litigation (PIL) that has sought trashing of a government circular defining guidelines for police to slap sedition charges.

A debate has been raging over the issue and the PIL states that the government stand is arbitrary and aimed at curbing the freedom of speech.
