The matter will be heard by a bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah via video-conferencing at 10.30 AM tomorrow (23 April).
Arnab Goswami has earned the ire of various Congress leaders and supporters after he questioned Sonia Gandhi on live television. This resulted in a slew of FIRs against him in various states like Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
He was also attacked on the intervening night of the 22 and 23 April by two bike borne assailants who attempted to break down his car window and threw bottles of ink. They were later apprehended and are purportedly members of the Youth Congress.

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.
