The Allahabad High Court recently held that liking an "obscene" post on social media does not constitute an offence. However, sharing or reposting such content will lead to penal consequences.

Liking obscene social media posts not an offence, but sharing is: Allahabad HC

The court has clarified that sharing such a post falls under the category of "transmission" as per Section 67 of the Information Technology (IT) Act, making it punishable.

A bench of Justice Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal made the observations while dismissing the criminal proceedings against Mohd Imran Kazi from Agra. Kazi had been charged under Section 67 of the IT Act and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.
