Supreme Court Slams Assam Professor for Obscene Social Media Posts
Imagine a teacher at a school who started posting very rude and inappropriate things online, even saying bad things about our country.
Some students and parents were very upset and worried.
When the case went to the highest court in India, the judges were very angry.
They said the teacher was like a bully online and a danger to the girls in the school because of his dirty thoughts.
The judges said he should not be allowed to teach anymore.
The teacher's lawyer said he was sorry and had lost his job, but the judges still felt he was a bad influence.
The court also asked for a judge to be sent to the local court so the case could move forward.
The Supreme Court refused interim bail to Assam professor Md Joynal Abedin, arrested for obscene and anti-India social media posts.
Justices described Abedin as a 'pervert,' a 'threat to young girls,' and having a 'dirty mind' due to his online behavior.
The court noted Abedin's alleged habit of stalking and making obscene remarks to women online.
The petitioner's counsel argued Abedin had apologized, deleted posts, and lost his job, with the trial stalled due to a judicial vacancy.
The Supreme Court requested the Gauhati High Court Chief Justice to address the judicial officer shortage at Gossaigaon court.
