The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim protection from arrest to two journalists in connection with an article written by them on the Adani-Hindenburg row.
A Bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and P.K. Mishra issued notice to the Gujarat Government on the pleas filed by journalists Ravi Nair and Anand Mangnale.
The top court was hearing pleas filed by Mr. Nair and Mr. Mangnale challenging the summonses issued by the Ahmedabad crime branch asking them to appear for questioning with respect to the police's preliminary enquiry into their article published on the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) website.
