The Bombay High Court on saturday reserved its order on a plea filed by Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami challenging his arrest and seeking relief in connection with the 2018 abetment of suicide case.
A division bench of Justice SS Shinde and Justice MS Karnik also granted Goswami the liberty to file a bail plea in a lower court and directed the court to decide on his bail plea, if and when filed, within a period of four days.
On the other hand, a sessions court in Alibag today adjourned to November 9, a hearing on a Raigad police plea, challenging the magistrate court order, refusing to send Republic TV Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami to police custody.
After their arrest in the wee hours of Wednesday, Goswami and two others — Feroz Shaikh and Nitesh Sarda — were sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Alibaug magistrate court in connection with Anvay Naik suicide case of May 2018. A suicide note purportedly written by Naik alleged that Goswami had not paid him his dues.
