Allahabad HC dismisses plea against post case
A man named Manish Tiwari was accused of making a Facebook post that hurt the religious feelings of the Muslim community.
He asked the court to stop the case against him, but the Allahabad High Court said no.
The court said the words in the post were meant to hurt religious feelings.
The case will now go to trial to decide if he is guilty.
The court also said that at this stage, they don't decide if someone is guilty or not, but just if there is enough reason to have a trial.
Allahabad High Court dismissed Manish Tiwari's plea to quash criminal proceedings against him.
Tiwari was accused of making a Facebook post against the Prophet, hurting religious sentiments.
The court found the post was made with deliberate and malicious intent to outrage religious feelings.
