The Palghar sessions court yesterday accepted the police closure report seeking dropping of charges against the two girls.
The Boisar police had filed a 'C' summary report in December to close the criminal case on the grounds that it was 'neither true nor false'.
However, complainant Shiv Sena member Bhushan Sankhe's counsel yesterday said they will challenge the order and file a criminal revision appeal before the Palghar sessions court.
The girls - Shaheen Dhada and Rinu Srinivasan, both 21 years of age, were arrested on November 19 last year after a complaint was filed against them by Sankhe, a member of Palghar unit of Shiv Sena.
Sankhe had taken offence at Dhada's post on social networking site Facebook regarding the shutdown following Bal Thackeray's death. Srinivasan had 'liked' the comment on Facebook.
The girls' subsequent arrest had sparked a nationwide outrage which embarrassed the Maharashtra government.
