I'm tweeting this , after thoughts and after thoughts. Finally I felt it needed to be done. This man has been taking on #Antanio whatever, #Vadras and ofcourse the rulers of Maharashtra; it's hard to believe that he was not aware of the reopening of the case

2. By the government of Maharashtra, as early as May of this year - I'm not willing to buy that - either he trusted his legal advisors , who must have told him ,not to worry because the matter for reinvestigation has not reached the courts , yet and/or he must have had a

3. different game plan, which back fired; personally speaking , I dislike him , especially after he played a morphed video about the late HH Jayendra Saraswathi of Kanchi Mutt and his subsequent stand on Sabarimalai issue. I can't deny his patriotism and / or his nationalist

Spirit, either; when one takes the state on , one must not let his/her emotions over ride , what needs to be done. He failed there. His failure was miserable as it's now evident on records , as of now :- the withdrawal of the petition for bail in the Alibagh courts was a stupid

Move - no lower court , gives you a date on bail, however on remand , the bail is taken up immediately. This is the practice and no high court ever entertains bail under Art.226 and/or u/s.482 of Cr.P.C. directly . It's rare , very rare, indeed. 2) the MHC did ask the Petitioner

6. why they did not prefer to approach the lower court for bail, and Mr . Salve being what he's, had to defend without letting the juniors down - that's obvious from his arguements on record. Now that it has suggested that he approach the lower court , they can't go to the Apex

7. too, at this point of time. Knowing cops ,their lies can't be accepted - like the transfer from the center to a tough penitentiary, was obviously well planned and executed. I'm only reminded of the rule in TN, headed by late MK, he was a past master at this. The fabrication ..

8. from the complaint level to FIR to arrest to denial of bail to and further , was so well executed - someone in the department must have taken the leaves out of that . Let's also remember that there's no law for bail carte blanche , which means the possibility of arrest again

9. Exists and if he seeks anticipatory bail,the cops will lie that there are no complaints , give it a day and cook another one. This happens in any state . One look at the numbers of under trials in prisons across pan India is astonishing - these are people who have been given

10. Bail, but are unable to provide surety, people whose bail have been refused and also people whose crimes , final reports having been submitted, the trial dragging , they languish and as per records of the police themselves , around 40% of these turn criminals because of the

11. System. I know of one such case (may be later I'll tweet about that ), I'm now beginning to believe that Arnab seems to have a game plan on this issue - or he has been caught in a catch 22 situation. If one has to go by the information available the cops have filed an appeal

12. against the refusal of police custody , which will again fail as they don't have the approval of the courts on the re - investigation of a closed case , which can be granted only by the High Court. Looks like this case is going into the books of case study by youngsters in

Law; so far the judiciary have gone by the book. One must notice that in recent times the midnight knocks in courts has dwindled from an alarming rate it happened. There's no point in outage which makes no sense to any, except to those who have expressed their emotions. The

Penguin's have succeeded in media moving away from them and that's their success. One needs to give the devil it's due. That the media doesn't support Arnab rises out of the fact he has exposed them too. It's that simple. Let's wait to see how it develops , as I'm sure he will

not be done to death - but it's a warning bell to all, just remember that the digital history is difficult to erase and one needs to be careful. I'm not willing to comment upon the political angle of these outages against central ministers as all of us are aware they've no

Control over these issues.
I'm certainly looking forward for views without outage and/or obscene expletives.
