Summary The court granted pre-arrest bail to Nagesh Lokdujee Kangane in Criminal Bail Application No. 63/2026. The applicant was charged under IPC Sections 75, 356(3) and IT Act Section 67 for allegedly making defamatory social media comments about the complainant. The court found that while comments were made on the accused's Facebook account, no specific name was mentioned in the posts, and the investigation was still incomplete. Considering the nature of the offense (no death or life imprisonment provision), the applicant's cooperation with investigation, and absence of criminal history, the court conditionally granted bail with personal bond of Rs. 50,000 and several conditions including weekly police reporting and non-interference with witnesses.
