The Allahabad High Court decided to keep Mohammed Zubair from being arrested until January 27th. This happened because of a social media post Zubair made about Yati Narsinghanand. This post led to a police report against Zubair. The judges in the case were Justice Siddhartha Varma and Justice Yogendra Kumar Srivastava.
The court’s choice to extend the protection from arrest came after the Uttar Pradesh government asked for more time. They wanted more time to look at the papers Zubair’s lawyers gave them. This extra time lets the court take a closer look at all the information before making a final decision.
At the heart of this legal issue is Zubair’s social media post which the government thinks might break the law. This case brings up questions about free speech and how the legal system is used in India. The delay in making a decision about arrest shows the case is still ongoing and the court wants to be careful before making a ruling.
