The Supreme Court on Monday did not intervene in favour of Vyapam scam whistleblower Anand Rai in an FIR registered against him over an alleged defamatory social media post against the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister's Deputy Secretary.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, however, gave Mr. Rai liberty to approach the High Court in the event any chargesheet was filed in the case.
The court noted that Mr. Rai was arrested and already on bail since April 9, 2022. Senior advocate P.S. Patwalia, appearing for the Under Secretary, said the accused had used derogatory words.
