Arnab Goswami And Republic TV 's Plea Against Mumbai Police's FIR In TRP Scam: Live Updates From Bombay High Court [Day 3]

J Shinde- Don't misunderstand that we have not formed our opinion at all. 

Mundargi- Yes, otherwise hearings would become so boring, reading and reading. 

Adjourned to Monday  

Mundargi continues from the charge sheet.

Mundargi - So they are basically saying that the five households are changing the TRPs of the entire country

Note - Mundargi had earlier argued, Republic's employees were named as wanted accused in Vikas Khanchandani's remand application, suspects in the charge sheet.

Mundargi - They are going in reserve. 

J Pitale - Yeah, wanted accused, suspects and then probably innocent

Mumdargi- Two people are arrested from my company. Ghanshyam Singh and CEO Vikas Khanchandani. I am not imagining the apprehension.

J Shinde- We have never said the apprehension is unfounded.

Mundargi goes back to reading statements

J Shinde- Now Mr. Ghanshyam is name. What are your submissions about him. He said he will give some...

J Shinde- We have wide powers u/s 482, the more power you have the more carefully it should be used 

J Pitale- The prosecutor is supposed to play a balancing act.

J Shinde- RBI, Army, all these are the backbone of the democracy. So we are bound to ask then, you can't keep a hanging sword on someone's head. 

Court - These comments are applicable to every investigating agency. ED, CBI

J Pitale - Remember the former SC CJI called the CBI a 'caged parrot,' imagine

J Shinde - The most important thing in a democracy is the faith of the people in the institution. Reasonability and objectivity needs to be kept in force. Common people are the best to judge of an institution. If not, we are heading towards a coercive system.
