The learned counsel for the petitioner though has denied such type of message transmitted from his so called face- book I.D., but in the alternative, he has submitted that even if it is presumed to be true that the said message was posted from his face-book I.D., it was not with an intention to create disharmony between two communities. He has submitted further that the petitioner is a responsible person working as Commando amnesty. He has, at all, no criminal antecedents.
