A Bench headed by Justice Chandrachud says Arnab Goswami and two other accused will get release on interim bail on a bond of Rs 50,000. It directs the Commissioner of Police to ensure the order followed immediately.

During the hearing, Justice Chandrachud told senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing on behalf of Arnab Goswami, "Before you put your side, there is an aspect in these cases that we are challenging in which the primaries are challenged." The only request is for the cancellation of the FIR.

"If we as a constitutional court do not lay down law and protect liberty then who will?... If a state targets an individual like that, a strong message needs to be sent out...Our democracy is extraordinarily resilient," says Justice Chandrachud of Supreme Court

During the hearing, Harish Salve also referred to the petition filed by the Hansa Research Group in the High Court and said that the TRP scandal case should also be linked to it. At the behest of the government, the Mumbai Police is constantly trying to harass his client. It can be easily understood what those people are trying to do and what their target is.
