In his order passed on Tuesday, Justice Ilanthiraiyan said that “fortunately, no untoward incident or group clashes between the community of the two States happened due to the alleged Twitter forwarded by the petitioner as per the news published in the news channel.”
The Court said it hoped that Umrao being an advocate, will co-operate with the police in its probe.
“It is a sorry state of affairs that the petitioner being an advocate, and is actively involved in a national wide political party, he must have some responsibility over the society. Before tweeting or forwarding the Twitter messages, he must think about the consequences of the said messages and the genuineness of the said messages,” the High Court said.
