Today #AllahabadHighCourt refused to quash criminal proceedings against one Niyaz Ahmad Khan booked for sharing PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah's morphed images on Facebook.

In 2018, Khan had shared one morphed photo of PM shaking hands with #terrorist Hafiz Saeed. Image
In another morphed photo shared by Khan, #PrimeMinister and #HomeMinister were shown feeding biscuits to dogs, on whom "Aaj Tak TV", "Zee TV" and "India TV" was written.
Taking note of Khan's act, Court observed,
"Use of Cyberspace by some people to vent out their anger and frustration by travestying the Prime Minister, Key-figures holding the highest office in the country...is abhorrent."

#allahabadhighcourt #cybercrime
"Since such incidents are on rise in a civilized society day by day and are #polluting the minds of people, therefore, now it is high time to evolve some more and full proof screening mechanism to regulate, check and control the unhealthy posts on social media", court added.
Court further noted,
"Persons who are deliberately involved in such acts directly or behind the curtain with oblique motive or to settle their score......are hazardous to the civilized society and are not entitled for any sympathy in justice delivery system."
Observing so, court directed the Government to take appropriate remedial measures/steps to control and eradicate such proliferating and booming devastating menace and to stop the misuse of #SocialMedia platforms.
