Mumbai: Republic TV Anchor Arnab Goswami in connection with his arrest in a 2018 abetment to suicide case concerning an architect and his mother, the Bombay High Court said on Thursday evening, sources says that no interim relief will be given to Arnab.

The two-member bench denied Goswami’s request for interim bail and set the next hearing for 03:00 PM Friday. Arnab Goswami had filed a habeas corpus petition after his “illegal” arrest on Wednesday, seeking the court to quash the case against him and revoke his arrest; this was after the case closed by earlier governments was re-opened following appeals from architect Anvay Naik’s family.

“Can’t pass interim order without hearing Complaint and State,” a bench comprising Justices SS Shinde and Karnik said, as it issued notices to the State and Adnya Naik. Appropriate orders will be passed on Friday after hearing both parties, the court said, noting that it would also hear a petition filed by Naik’s family.
