HC extends interim relief for Arnab, Republic channel staff

The Bombay High Court on Friday extended till March 5, the interim relief for Arnab Goswami and other employees of the ARG Outlier Media group, who are booked in the TRP scam case.

A Bench of Justices Sambhaji Shinde and Manish Pitale while hearing the plea filed by ARG and Arnab seeking to quash the FIRs registered against them in the TRP scam case, adjourned the matter till March 5.

The Bench continued the state government's statement that it wouldn't take any action against Arnab and other staff of the group till March 5. This comes after senior counsel Kapil Sibal for the state sought time to respond to the 105 page affidavit filed by the group against the action of Mumbai Police. The channel in its affidavit has claimed that it is falsely implicated in the case.
