Arnab Ranjan Goswami vs Union of India & Ors

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

This writ petition was filed by a media broadcaster in relation to multiple criminal complaints and FIRs lodged against him across different states based on his broadcast content. The charges included offences under the Indian Penal Code covering sedition, defamation, and criminal intimidation. The Supreme Court declined to entertain the petition as the subsequent petition lacked the material grounds concerning multiple FIRs across states that were present in the initial petition. The Court disposed of the application while directing the petitioner to pursue available legal remedies.
