TRP case: HC adjourns hearing on bail plea of former BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta to Feb 9

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday adjourned to February 9 the hearing of the plea by former Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) CEO Partho Dasgupta seeking interim bail or allowing him to shift to a private hospital for treatment.

A single judge bench of Justice Prakash D Naik was hearing the plea by Dasgupta, who is lodged in the Taloja Central Jail of Navi Mumbai following his arrest in the alleged TRP scam case by the crime branch of the Mumbai Police on December 24 last year.

The bench noted in the order that the trial court decision rejecting bail to Dasgupta and the chargesheet of the police in the case was taken on record and posted the matter for further hearing on February 9.
