Tone Down, HC Tells Arnab Goswami; Notice To Republic On Shashi Tharoor Plea

Darpan News Desk IANS, 29 May, 2017 11:45 AM
    The Delhi High Court on Monday sought the response of Arnab Goswami and his newly-launched news channel Republic TV on Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s defamation plea against them.
     
    In his plea, Tharoor has claimed damages and compensation of Rs 2 crore from the journalist and his channel for allegedly making defamatory remarks against him while airing news relating to the death of his wife Sunanda Pushkar.
     
     
    “Bring down the rhetoric. You can put out your story; you can put out the facts. You cannot call him names. That is uncalled for,” Justice Manmohan said while issuing notice to Goswami and the channel and seeking their replies by August 16, the next date of hearing.
     
    Senior advocate Salman Khurshid, appearing for Tharoor, said he should be protected, and the channel and the journalist be directed to justify the statements made against him.
     
     
    Senior advocate Sandeep Sethi, appearing for Goswami and the channel, said they would justify each and every statement made by them and therefore, there was no need for any interim order injuncting them.
     
    Tharoor had on May 26 filed a civil defamation suit against Arnab Goswami and Republic TV in the Delhi High Court claiming damages and compensation of Rs 2 crore for allegedly making defamatory remarks against him while airing news relating to the death of his wife Sunanda.
     
    The Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram has also sought a direction from the high court to restrain the TV channel from broadcasting any show relating to the death of his wife till the investigation is completed by Delhi Police.
     
    He has referred to the broadcasting of news items from May 8 to 13 when the TV channel claimed to air an expose connected to the death of his wife.
