[Breaking ]Arnab Goswami Shall Not Be arrested Pursuant To Breach Of Privilege Notice By Maharashtra Assembly:Supreme Court [LIVE]

This is a serious charge, please file a proper application, #CJI tells Salve

I have attached the show cause notice. There is an application for directions therein. The notice cannot be used in the courts, says Salve

Who is appearing for Assembly? asks #CJI

I have served them multiple times but they have chosen not to appear, says Salve

#CJI asks : What is this? There is only one precedent of this nature from the 1940's which was a letter by a prisoner in Nagpur to the CJ and that letter had been withheld by the SP of the Jail. CJ then issued contempt.

Salve reads out a letter by the Secretary for the Assembly.

I will show my lords something today which will grant him relief, says Salve.

Senior Advocate Harish Salve says #ArnabGoswami's wife has filed an affidavit today because he is in jail in a very serious matter.

#CJI: In jail for this matter?

In jail for something that was discussed in the Assembly, says Salve
