Supreme Court Grants Interim Bail to Arnab Goswami in 2018 Case of Abetment to Suicide
News 18The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered for the immediate release of Republic TV founding editor Arnab Goswami in connection with the 2018 abetment to suicide case, saying it will walk on a path of destruction if it doesn’t interfere in this matter. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Indira Banerjee gave interim bail to Goswami and two other co-accused in the case, maintaining that the Bombay High Court order of denying them the relief was incorrect. He flashed the victory sign and said, “This is the victory of the people of India.” While the detailed court order will be released by the bench on Thursday, the bench made strong remarks on why it was imperative for the Supreme Court to intervene in cases of personal liberty to protect it. Two days ago, Bombay High Court had declined to release him on interim bail and asked Goswami to seek relief from the trial court by filing a regular bail plea.
