The defamation suit against Param Bir Singh is in process by the legal teams of republic.
Denying their own Police Commissioner, the Mumbai Police and Maharashtra Government lawyer today in the Bombay High Court admitted that Republic is not named in the FIR in the TRP case, and seemed to distance itself from the allegations made by the Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh. Following this admission by the Maharashtra Government in open court, Arnab Goswami has directed that he will take every legal action against Param Bir Singh (and others if so required) and seek damages via a defamation suit. Republic will file a Contempt Petition against the Special Executive Magistrate and Assistant Police Commissioner, Mr Sudhir Jambwadekar, on account of the fact that he initiated chapter proceedings with respect to FIRs that have been suspended by the orders of the Bombay High Court.
The Supreme Court while hearing the TRP matter had raised concerns over the pattern of giving interviews by Police Commissioners, and the Bombay High Court reiterated this stand. The Bombay High Court had previously stayed action by the Mumbai Police in the Palghar lynching case and the FIR in the Bandra incident case were categorically stayed. As per Republic TV The courts of law in this country have always upheld justice and the purity of the truth and we are grateful to them for upholding the rights of the fourth pillar of democracy amidst this political witch hunt against India’s Number 1 News Network.
