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

Let the sessions consider Goswami’s bail. If Salves arguments are great, why would it be denied tomorrow? Why meddle with the hierarchy? Why not hear what the State has to say? Desai argues. 

In a 226 jurisdiction, would your lordships consider exercising power of bail? Desai says

I am only on the process, not on the context of personal liberty. According to the state, there is material collected which is ex facie, says Desai

I stand for the state today and this was a petition under 226 and the HC had suggested for moving a 439. Interim application under habeas corpus could not have been converted so the HC was conscious of personal liberty, says Desai

On the side of personal liberty always but the bail was filed and withdrawn. It was said that the State was trying to delay the process, says Senior Advocate Amit Desai

If you deny a person liberty Mr. Desai..... says Justice Chandrachud

Taken 19(1)a to such an extreme extent, it is not an absolute right, My lords must also look at that, says Sibal

Yes, when your appeal came, CJI said that there should be responsibility on ALL sides, remarks Justice Chandrachud

Our democracy is extraordinarily resilient. Governments must ignore all this. This is not the basis on which elections are fought, says Justice Chandrachud

I don’t even watch his channel, never turn it on, says Justice Chandrachud

If your lordship feels so strongly about, I cant say anything. If investigation has revealed certain facts, my lords should look at thay, Sibal

Yes we are with you, they deserve a fair investigation but if a state targets an individual like that.., Justice Chandrachud says.

Case after case, High courts are denying personal liberty, says Justice Chandrachud

In 99 per cent cases, I am on the otherside! Says Kapil Sibal

Let today fall upon the 99 per cent cases, says Justice Chandrachud
