Dushyant Dave writes to SC
On Tuesday, SCBA president Dushyant Dave sought to scuttle the SC's hearing on Arnab Goswami's plea challenging the rejection of his interim bail petition. In a letter addressed to SC Secretary-General, Dave opposed the urgent listing of Arnab's Special Leave Petition. He has since been countered by an ever-growing list of senior lawyers.
Former Additional Solicitor General of India Vikas Singh who has also been SCBA president spoke exclusively to Republic TV on Dave's letter. The ex-SCBA president opined that matters concerning individual liberty should be listed even during a holiday.
