Allahabad High Court rejects anticipatory bail of Professor accused of putting an obscene post about Smriti Irani on Facebook
ingle-judge Justice JJ Munir, while rejecting the plea, observed that the contents of the post may promote or has the likelihood to promote hatred between different communities.
"In the prima facie opinion of this Court, looking to the fact that the applicant is a senior teacher in a college and a Head of Department, conduct of this kind prima facie does not entitle him to the indulgence of anticipatory bail. This Court does not find it to be a fit case to grant anticipatory bail in the entirety of the circumstances. The application for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected," the Court ordered.
The Court said that the Facebook post was also shared by the co-accused in the crime, one Huma Naqvi, and the contents of the post are indeed such which may in fact, "promote or in all likelihood (have the tendency) of promoting ill-will or hatred between different communities."
