GUWAHATI: The interim bail granted by Supreme Court to journalist Arnab Goswami in a two-year-old abetment to suicide case of a businessman will remain in force for a period of four weeks even after the Bombay high court decides on his plea for quashing of FIR. This was stated by a bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Indira Banerjee who gave a detailed judgment stating the reasons for granting interim bail to Goswami on November 11.

The court said the interim bail will remain in force till Bombay HC decides the quashing petition and will remain in force for another four weeks in order to enable Goswami to approach this court.
Goswami had approached the SC after the Bombay high court refused to grant him bail. The SC bench gave a prima facie view that the preliminary evaluation of FIR did not establish any abetment to suicide charge.
