Justice NJ Jamadar

Khan applied to the high court after the sessions court on December 13 rejected his request for pre-arrest bail. Sessions Judge Abhay Joglekar noted that there is preliminary evidence linking him to Lion Book yet he rejected the plea.

Following sections 34 (common intention), 504 (intentional insult), 500 (defamation), 506 (penalty for criminal intimidation), and other relevant IT Act sections, Mumbai Police has filed a formal complaint (FIR) against Sahil Khan and six other people.
