Hearing Of Arnab Goswami's Petition [Live-Updates From SC]

Please consider my prayers, If I am telecasting an episode, and it involves some important matters, I will telecast it. There is no communal riots, nothing of this kind, Salve submits

Justice Chandrachud : All these points, can be put across before the HC. Either in an anticipatory bail or quashing of the case, whatever you like.

"In a police station 12 hours interrogation was done. He said [to the police officers], the kind of questions you want to ask, why cant you ask me on video conferencing." - Salve

Salve [For #arnabgoswami] I'm surprised to see why police is asking as to why he defamed certain people. Police is investigating a telecast! Moreover, Two officers who interrogated him were asymptomatic and one has been tested #COVID19 positive.

Certain tweets came out in the public domain [against #ArnabGoswami] Worrying to see what he was being asked" submits Senior Advocate Harish Salve

"This is news which involves public. This is news that the public must know"

"We need anticipatory bail in the cases" Salve

"On April 25, a notice served to the petitioner requiring his presence in the case before police for questioning. Nature of FIR shows it's an arm-twisting tactic. They have interrogated him for 12 hours" he adds.

Senior Advocate Harish Salve to bench comprising Justices DY Chandrachud & MR Shah:

"There is a fresh petition & an earlier one also, the incident is of April 16 of a show telecast on TV. There are a slew of FIRs against the petitioner for his show"
