- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

The Supreme Court Wednesday told Ashoka University professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, accused of making contentious social media posts on Operation Sindoor, that there was no impediment on his right to speech and expression, but he can’t post anything online with respect to the cases against him.

A partial working day bench of Justices Surya Kant and Dipankar Datta refused to modify as of now, the interim bail condition imposed on him May 21 that he will not write any online post, article or make any oral speech related to either of the two online posts, which are subject matter of the investigation.
