Chandra, Carey to attend APOS 2013 pay-TV summit
MUMBAI: Media moghul Subhash Chandra and News Corp president COO Chase Carey are among the executives who will attend
MUMBAI: Zee Group chairman Subhash Chandra and his son Punit Goenka got interim relief from a Delhi court as it extended protection of their arrest in the alleged Rs 1 billion extortion case till 20 December.
?Interim protection for the two is extended till 20 December,? additional sessions judge Raj Rani Mitra said Friday. He further stated that the court will hear arguments on their anticipatory bail plea on that day.
Chandra and Goenka?s counsel, senior advocate Geeta Luthra and Vijay Aggarwal had sought extension of the interim protection as Luthra had to go to Supreme Court to argue in another matter listed there.
Since the passports of her clients are already with the police, there is no chance of their fleeing from justice, Luthra had argued.
It may be recalled that on 6 December the court had granted Chandra and Goenka interim protection from arrest till 14 December.
The court on Friday also heard arguments on the bail application of Zee News Editor Sudhir Chaudhary and Zee Business Editor Samir Ahluwalia, who were arrested on 27 November.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Friday filed a fresh status report in the case. The court had directed this on 6 December.
