  "account": "The Supreme Court stayed proceedings related to an FIR against Dehradun gym owner Mohammed Deepak Kumar following a confrontation with Bajrang Dal members and a Muslim shopkeeper, according to LiveLaw. The Court also stayed the High Court's order limiting Deepak's ability to post about the incident on social media. A bench led by Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued the interim order and sent the matter back to the respondents. Deepak's legal team argued that the FIR was unjustified, as he had intervened to assist the shopkeeper after a mob confronted him over the use of the word \"Baba\" in his shop's name. The team also questioned the High Court's decision and noted that the charges against Deepak carried sentences of less than seven years. The Supreme Court stayed the proceedings for four weeks and the effect of the High Court order until further notice.",
  "summary": "The Supreme Court also stayed the operation of the High Court order restraining Deepak from making social media posts about the incident and the case.",
