#ArnabGoswamy
#BombayHighCourt

Salve : We are seeing great responsibility when the Police Commissioner is giving press conferences.

#ArnabGoswamy

#HarishSalve : Desai has cited a case which reminds us that when a person great injustice, technicalities cannot come in way. My petition raises issues of violations of Article 21 and 19(1)(a).

#ArnabGoswamy
#BombayHighCourt
#HarishSalve : What Mr.Gupte argued today is irrelevant today, with due respect. He may also have to explain what he has been doing for two years.

#ArnabGoswamy
#BombayHighCourt
#HarishSalve : Can the Court grant relief? Yes, as per the case referred by Mr. Desai.
#ArnabGoswamy

Haris Salve : The very same argument that habeas was not maintainable was raised there. The Supreme Court did not accept it and ordered the relaese of Prashant Kanojia who was remanded to custody.

Harish Salve : If the question to be asked is if the Court has power, the answer is yes. The writ petition is based on a case of "malice in fact" by the State.

#ArnabGoswami
#BombayHighCourt
Harish Salve : If under Article 32 bail can be granted, bail can be granted under Article 226.
#ArnabGoswami

Harish Salve : Mr Gupte's client (Naik family) will have to explain what they were doing between April 2019 and now.

Also, the death of the mother of Anvay Naik is a bit of a question mark.

#BombayHighCourt
Harish Salve : For abetment to suicide, I showed judgment. Of course, they were post-conviction judgments. But the principle of law remains.
#ArnabGoswami
#BombayHighCourt
Harish Salve : Alternate remedies do not exclude the jurisdiction of this court.

This is a fit case for ad-interim bail.

Salve concludes.

Abad Ponda says that order of State Government says "re-investigation". Govt has no power to order reinvestigation. Only the Court can order re-investigation.

#ArnabGoswami
