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

Harish Salve : This is the finding of a judicial authority after referring to the case diary.

Justice Chandrachud : The CJM basically says the individual role of accused is not made out and no prima facie case under Section 306 IPC is made out to justify the arrest of the accused.

Sachin Patil for State of Maharashtra now reading out the CJM's order in Marathi and says it has been wrongly interpreted by the petitioners.

C U Singh : The petitioners got an extraordinary order from High Court to get their bail applications decided in four days.

C U Singh : The Supreme Court interfering when the trial court is to decide bail applications tomorrow will send a very wrong signal.

C U Singh : If the Supreme Court interferes, it will send a wrong signal to the lower judiciary.

C U Singh says that even before the High Court pronouncing the order, all the accused had filed bail applications.

C U Singh : The only statutory method under which bail can be granted after remand is under Section 439 CrPC.

C U Singh : There is a remand order passed by the Magistrate which has not been challenged by any of the accused.

C U Singh says that the petitioners misinterpreted the Marathi word in remand application. Singh says that the word used means 'further investigation' and not 're-investigation' as argued by the petitioners.
