The Karnataka High Court quashed the notice issued by Uttar Pradesh police, to Twitter India MD Manish Maheshwari, under Section 41A of CrPC. The said notice was issued in furtherance to the FIR registered over the video posted in Twitter which showed assault of a Muslim man in Ghaziabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court called the notice as a \u201ctool of harassment\u201d which had been used by the Uttar Pradesh without ascertaining if the MD of Twitter really had any control over the contents posted on social media platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court observed that the Uttar Pradesh police did not place any material before it which would prove prima facie<\/a> involvement of the petitioner. It further stated that the notice under Section 41A contains threat of arrest which must be interpreted as a notice under Section 160 CrPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court clarified that the Uttar Pradesh have the liberty to sought for petitioner\u2019s statement as a witness under Section 160 of CrPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was observed that Twitter INC holds no share in Twitter Communications India Pvt. Ltd. Moreover, it was indicated that TCIPL\u2019s operations were extended upto market research and advertising, and had no control over the social media content<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court noted that the Twitter India MD had not been arraigned as an accused either in the complaint or FIR. The court concluded that the notice was mala fide<\/a> and was used as an arm twisting method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It further noted that the three essentials- arraying petitioner as an accused; credible information against petitioner; or suspicion based on reasonable grounds<\/a> that proved petitioner\u2019s involvement, had not been present, and thus Uttar Pradesh could not legally invoke Section 41A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court, therefore, did not allow Uttar Pradesh police to intervene with the liberty of Twiiter India MD on unreasonable grounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
