Due to paucity of time, the court could not hear the app lication for anticipatory bail today.

However Adv. Niranjan Mundargi expressed his apprehension that Sundaram may be arrested in a similar manner as Vikas Khanchandani, CEO, Republic TV.
Court expressed its disappointment at the conduct of Mumbai Police.

Court: what was the urgency to arrest him like this a day before, when the application was subjudice?

The court was informed that the application was served on the state on Thursday.
Taking into account the act by Mumbai Police against Khanchandani, the court diected Special PP Sisher Hirey to either make a statement of 'no coercive action' against Sundaram, or the court will pass an order to that effect.
Hirey agreed to make a statement.

The application will now be heard tomorrow for final relief.
