Arnab Goswami’s arrest: Special sitting of Bombay high court to hear bail plea at 12pm

A division bench of Justices SS Shinde and MS Karnik will hold a special sitting on Saturday 12pm to hear the interim bail plea of Republic Television editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami in the 2018 case of abetment to suicide of architecht-interior designer Anvy Naik and his mother.

The hearing remained incomplete on Friday as there was scarcity of time. The high court does not assemble on Saturdays. So, the case can be heard at length, the bench observed on Friday.

The 47-year-old journalist was arrested by Alibag police on Wednesday from his Lower Parel residence and produced him to a magistrate’s court which remanded him in judicial custody till November 18.

Goswami is being represented by two lawyers Harish Salve and Aabad Ponda.
