SC seeks Maha Assembly Secy’s response on Goswami’s plea

The Supreme Court Wednesday sought Maharashtra Assembly secretary’s response on journalist Arnab Goswami’s plea challenging the show cause notice for initiation of breach of privilege motion against him for the reportage on actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde issued notice to the secretary seeking his response within a week.

The show cause notice has been issued to Goswami for making certain remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackrey in his news debates on Rajput’s case. Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the Editor-in-Chief of Republic TV, said Goswami has not interfered with either the proceedings of any of the committees of the Assembly or the Assembly itself.
