Sedition an act or conduct by speech or in writing to rebel or incite discontent or displeasure against the monarch or government, the law which was used by the British to suppress the voice or silence the freedom fighters, is in the present era used to counter dissent and criticism against the government. This paper provides a unique outlook on how the sedition law is taken or understood by the very own Law Fraternity which looks into it in their daily life in the form of cases coming before them. The law fraternity is academicians, advocates and judges. This paper initially introduces the sedition law, then it looks into the opinion of the law fraternity on sedition in the form of a questionnaire method. The researcher then supplements this study by putting forth some discussion and then concluding it.
