JAMMU, Nov 27: High Court has refused to stay police investigation into a case registered against an advocate for her objectionable tweet.
After hearing Senior Advocate PN Raina for the petitioner whereas AAG Aseem Sawhney for the UT, Justice Sanjay Dhar observed, “it may not be appropriate to go into the merits of the rival contentions of the parties and it will also be not proper to interfere in the investigation of the FIR, which is stated to be at its infancy”.
“However, before a final view is taken in the matter by the investigating agency, this court needs to go into the issues raised in the instant petition”, Justice Dhar said, adding “in the instant FIR, the petitioner stands already protected inasmuch as she has been admitted to anticipatory bail by the Principal Sessions Judge, Jammu”.
“In view of these circumstances, it is directed that the investigation in the FIR may continue but the final report shall not be filed by the investigating agency before the competent court without permission of this court”, Justice Dhar said.
