HC stated that it could not be concluded without any evidence that applicant would have been the only person behind creation of fake Facebook accounts, from which alleged defamatory posts were made in respect of Respondent 2, his family members including applicant’s wife.
The Court was of opinion that print of screenshots of Facebook would not prove that the said post was created from an alleged fake account.
