Bench adds in the order.

"As on date, Arnab Gosawmi is not an accused in the FIR. In case, the investigating officer proposes to array him as an accused, in that case, the officer will issue summons to him in the first instance"

Bench : We will only say if the investigating officer wants to question him, summons will be issued. When summons is issued, where is the question of arrest? And in case of urgency, we will grant you liberty to move urgently here.

Salve : The police commissioner has accused him in a press conference.

Sibal : Police commissioner said Republic TV.

Salve : Republic TV is him (Arnab Goswami).

Salve : Till the next date of hearing, don't arrest him.

Bench : He is not accused in the crime. How can we pass such an order?

Sibal : I never gave any commitment that he (Arnab Goswami) will not be arrested. I said that he should cooperate with the investigation.
