[Breaking] "If State Govts Targets Individual They Must Realise That SC is Here To Protect Them": Supreme Court Grants Interim Bail To Arnab Goswami

One more day in jail after all? Salve says to Desai

I have had clients who have been in jail for more than a week! The prayers also do not stipulate bail but seek stay of Bombay HC judgement, says Desai

Remedy under 439 available. There are multitudes of matters where people are languishing in custody. Hes at least getting a hearing in 4 days! The matter is listed on 10th December and the Sessions Judge is hearing the matter, says Desai

In A summary - there is no completed investigation, says Desai.

“Petitioner is not remediless. Moment we accept principles of quashing, we are converting courts, says Desai”

Salve interjects. “I did not even argue this,” he sahs

Always a pleasure to hear Mr. Desai, says Justice Chandrachud

“Only speaking prima facie. Difference in A summary, B summary and C summary cases,” says Desai

I dont need to get justification of the court to restart the investigation. To suggest in that courts justification is required in an “A” summary report, it will have an impact on the hamstring of the Criminal Justice System, says Desai 

The primary argument which was canvassed was that arrest illegal because of closure of report and I had pointed out to the court that it was not illegal and does not shock the court’s conscience for it to exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction, Desai says

Victim had learnt about the closure report vide a tweet and she filed for action against the officers as well because according to her the inquiry was bad, says Desai

Articles 14 & 21 for both the victims and the accused and if victim comes knocking on the doors saying injustice has been caused, it is the State’s duty to balance the rights, Desai says

Whether judicial custody order was valid or not by a magistrate wherein he applied his mind was never challenged in the HC, says Desai

I am not here today representing either the state or the accused. I am here to state how the Criminal Justice System works, Desai
