HC allows Republic TV to challenge Mumbai Police chargesheet in fake TRP case

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday allowed ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd, which runs Republic TV, to amend its petition so as to challenge the chargesheet filed by Mumbai Police in the fake TRP case. The company had filed a petition for quashing the FIR registered by the Mumbai Police in the case and summons issued to its senior officials.

The High Court also continued an interim relief through which it directed the Mumbai Police to summon employees of Hansa Research Group, complainant in the case, for inquiry only two days a week for a “reasonable time” until the next hearing. The company had asked for the probe to be transferred to the CBI.
