Court Deliberates on Student's Social Media Post Amidst Indo-Pak Tensions

The Bombay High Court is evaluating the case of a 19-year-old student arrested for a social media post criticizing Operation Sindoor, despite her subsequent apology and deletion of the post.

During Friday's proceedings, the court stressed that good academic performance cannot influence the decision to quash the FIR. The Chief Justice and Justice Gautam Ankhad observed that erasing the post complicates the matter, rather than resolving it.

The case has been adjourned for further hearings in two weeks, with the public prosecutor instructed to produce the case diary. The incident highlights the sensitivity surrounding social media commentary in tense geopolitical situations.
