TRP scam: Bombay High Court asks ARG Media to complete its pleadings by February 9

MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Friday directed ARG Outlier Media, the company that runs all Republic TV channels, to complete by February 9 its pleadings on its plea related to the Television Rating Points (TRP) scam case before the high court. A bench of Justices S S Shinde and Manish Pitale also accepted the statement made by senior counsel Kapil Sibal, who appeared for the Maharashtra government, that the police will not take any coercive action against Republic TV editor-in- chief Arnab Goswami, and other employees of ARG Outlier Media, till February 12, the next date of hearing in the case.

ARG Outlier Media had approached the high court last year, seeking, among other things, that the police be restrained from taking coercive action against its employees.
