In the instant case, he was arrested only for offences u/s 153A and 295A.
Important observations by the court:
1. The court has noted that the prosecution itself has accepted that the informant in the instant matter, Gulbahar Khan, was not present at the Dharm Sansad. He filed a case only on the basis of a video he saw on Facebook.

The Madras High Court grants bail to a suspected Maoist on condition that she would file a sworn affidavit in Tamil owing faith and allegiance to the Indian Constitution and stating that she does not believe in Maoism.
#MadrasHighCourt
Court said that in cases where people wedded to a certain ideology are involved, they do everything possible to prevent the conduct of the trial and such things remain unknown to the media or the outside world.
#madrashighcourt
“On account of such dilatory tactics adopted by the accused, evidences disappear eventually leading to their acquittal. At that time, there will be a hue and cry saying that the system, without any material thereof, had kept the person in prolonged incarceration," court added.
