The plea submitted by Arnab Goswami and his company, ARG Outlier Media Private Limited, requested a CBI investigation against the Maharashtra DGP and the Mumbai Police Commissioner, to quash all FIRs, and to direct Maharashtra Police not to arrest anyone associated with the company, including stakeholders, etc, reported The Hindu.
Arnab Goswamis senior counsel Advocate Milind Sathe withdrew the plea after the apex court granted liberty to Goswami and Republic TV to move the high court or any other competent court, reported Bar and Bench.
Supreme Court on Monday rejected a plea by Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami for CBI inquiry against senior Maharashtra police officials, and seeking protection for all employees of the Republic TV from coercive action by the State Police.
