Court Rejects PEC Student's Discharge Plea in Cyberstalking Case
Imagine two students, and one shared the other's phone number with mean messages.
The person who shared the number was accused of wrongdoing.
She said she didn't do it.
The court looked at the evidence, including where the messages came from on the internet.
Even though there were questions, the court didn't let the person off the hook.
The court said there was enough reason to think the person did it, and the case will continue.
The two students have since graduated from college.
A former PEC student's discharge plea was dismissed by the Additional District and Sessions Court of Chandigarh.
The case involves allegations of the student listing another's mobile number on an application with obscene references.
The FIR was registered in 2019 under IPC Section 509 and IT Act Section 67.
The accused claimed she was framed, arguing that the IP address used was public and insufficient.
The court found sufficient evidence to create suspicion regarding the accused's role, upholding the lower court's order.
