Judiciary Concerned Over Social Media Speculations On Bail Plea

Sections within the judiciary have expressed concern over social media posts speculating on the outcome of an anticipatory bail plea linked to a case registered at Pet Basheerabad Police Station.

Legal circles said posts by bloggers and social media users attempted to predict the outcome of the bail application concerning Sai Bhageerath, son of a Union minister, even before the matter reached the vacation bench.

According to sources, some members of the



judiciary viewed such commentary with concern, particularly where posts attributed motives to judges or referred to their alleged proximity to influential individuals, including references to caste and regional backgrounds. 

The concern arises in connection with a case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. Legal observers said such speculation could create public perception about judicial outcomes and affect confidence in the impartiality of the process.
