A court here Wednesday modified its order asking a college girl, arrested for an offensive Facebook post, to donate copies of the Quran as a pre-condition for bail. The court changing its order allowed her regular bail by furnishing bail bond of Rs 7,000 and two sureties of like amount each. Lawyers of the Ranchi civil court Wednesday boycotted the court in protest against the order asking the girl to distribute copies of the holy book. The 19-year-old girl was arrested on July 12 for allegedly sharing an offensive post in the social media which reportedly hurt religious sentiments. Lawyer Rampravesh Singh told PTI that now that the court itself has modified its order, there may not be a boycott Thursday.
