MUMBAI: Now, it’s the turn of Bennet Coleman & Co to give its perspective on the civil case it has filed in the Delhi High Court against ARG Outlier Media, the company that runs Republic TV.

Sources at Times Now state that Justice Manmohan was of the view that the employment agreement between the parties would have to be upheld and the defendants (read Arnab Goswami and Prema Sridevi) cannot be permitted to breach that. The lawyers for the defendants stated that the ex-employees have no intention of violating the same. The judge took this statement on record.

This came as a huge relief for it, says the Times group, as it has been wary of misappropriation and violation of its IPR by Arnab and his company and that confidential information should not be disclosed.

The court, while admitting the matter against Arnab and his company, granted them six weeks' time to file their written statement in the matter.
