Allegation of sexual harassment which has been made on the basis of sharing certain photographs on social media.

 There is no denial to this fact that this Court being the ultimate court of law has to decide the cases keeping in view the dictates of justice in order to establish safe administration of criminal justice. No doubt there is allegation of sexual harassment which has been made on the basis of sharing certain photographs on social media. The trend of such like activities undeniably is at the verge of rise which clearly shows concerns towards the downfall of the society, but at the same time, a duty is cast upon the court to see whether from the fact sand circumstances the case of bail is made out. To resolve this issue, we undesirably asked the Inve.s tigating officer to show us the material collected during the course of investigation. We have observed that there are certain photographs which could be termed as close to nudity but those are not recognizable. The other photographs are in full attire without any question of immorality. This aspect persuaded us to grant post-arrest bail to the petitioner, as he is behind the bars since more than 03 months and this issue can be resolved by the Trial Court after recording of evidence more authoritatively. As the liberty of a person isa precious right which has been guaranteed.
