Earlier on Monday (9 November), the Bombay HC refused to grant interim bail to the senior journalist and said that he and two other accused in the case could move bail applications before a sessions court for a decision within four days.
The Bombay HC bench of Justices S S Shinde and M S Karnik rejected the interim bail pleas of the three accused, saying “no case is made out for release of applicant under extraordinary writ jurisdiction”.
The bench said its observations were of “prima facie nature” and rejection of the interim bail applications “should not be construed as impediment”, reports Indian Express.
Goswami, Feroze Shaikh and Nitish Sarda on Monday approached the sessions court in Alibag and filed their bail applications.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
