The Bombay High Court on Monday rejected habeas corpus plea by Republic TV Managing Director and Chief Editor Arnab Goswami, challenging his arrest by the Maharashtra Police in abetment of suicide case and seeking interim bail. The Bombay High Court bench led by Justice Shine denied interim relief to Republic TV Editor-In-Chief Arnab Goswami and two others in connection with a 2018 abetment to suicide case.
"Rejection of interim application shall not be construed as an impediment to the petitioner seeking alternate remedies. Observations are prima facie in nature confined to the present application only", Justice Shinde has been quoted as saying.

On Friday, the Bombay High Court had said that the journalist may approach the sessions court for his bail. The Judges said, "We can't pass order today. It is already six. Meanwhile, we will clarify that pendency of the petition will not bar the petitioner from approaching the sessions court for bail and if such an application is filed, it should be decided within 4 days."
The journalist did that and filed a bail plea before a sessions court on Monday.
