Preposterous to assume CM would personally handle Twitter to post trivial tweets: Telangana High Court

The Telangana High Court dismissed a PIL questioning the Chief Minister's personal handling of his Twitter account for trivial posts. The Court deemed it preposterous to assume that a CM would personally manage such matters, suggesting that the CM's office typically delegates social media activities to staff. \r

The PIL alleged misuse of official machinery for non-official purposes. The Court emphasized that political leaders often use social media for public engagement, which does not imply personal handling of accounts. It concluded that frivolous allegations cannot be entertained in court without credible evidence. This decision underscores the separation of personal and official activities on social media platforms by public figures.
