KOCHI: Being a Maoist is not a crime and a person cannot be sent to custody for being one, the Kerala High Court said in a significant judgement on Friday.

"Though the political ideology of a Maoist does not synchronise with constitutional polity, being a Maoist is not a crime," said Justice A Mushtaq.

"Freedom becomes unlawful when it confronts with laws of the country," he added.

The police cannot detain a person "merely because he is a Maoist" unless they find that their activities are unlawful, the judge said.

The court was giving its ruling on a petition by a man who was detained on the suspicion that he was a Maoist. Shyam Balakrishnan alleged in his petition that he was harassed by the Thunderbolt team, an elite commando force involved in counter-insurgency operations in Kerala.

The court said Mr Balakrishnan should getRs.1 lakh as compensation.

The son of a former high court judge, Mr Balakrishnan was detained in May last year for a few hours and then released.

When these bastard keralites lose their own family members to Maoists then they will see who's criminal and who's not.
