Accordingly, the impugned FIR was lodged against the accused, alleging that he had disturbed communal peace and outraged the religious feelings of a class of Indian citizens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Hence, the present petition.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stated that the words of the said message, as quoted in the FIR, might not speak, per se, about religion, but definitely convey an underlying and subtle message that the accused&#8217;s brother had been targeted in a false case because he belonged to a particular religious community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"animate-charcter\" style=\"margin-left: 36pt; margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold; color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">&#8220;These unsaid words in the message, prima facie, would outrage religious feelings of a class of citizens hailing from a particular community, who would think that they are being targeted because of belonging to a particular religious community.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further stated that, <span style=\"font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;even if one were to think that no religious feelings of a class of citizens or community have been outraged per se by the WhatsApp message, it is certainly a message, which, by its unsaid words, is likely to create or promote feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between religious communities, where members of a particular community, in the first instance, could think that they are being targeted by members of another religious community by abusing the process of law.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Stating the aforesaid, the Court held that the act may not fall under Section 353(3), but prima facie would attract Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001803715\" target=\"_blank\">353(2)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9001804326\" target=\"_blank\">BNS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, considering the overall context of the FIR and the manner in which the accused acted by sending out WhatsApp messages to a multitude of persons, which has the aforementioned potential, the Court opined that the accused was not entitled to a grant of relief under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574969\" target=\"_blank\">226<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court rejected the petition, holding that the matter required investigation and could not be scuttled at an initial stage, barring a probe that must be carried to its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Afaq Ahmad v.
