Team News Riveting
Republic TV editor-in-chief and well-known journalist Arnab Goswami could continue to ask “Nation wants to Know” as a Delhi court of law today did not pass any order on the issue.
A single-judge bench of Delhi High Court headed by Justice Jayant Nath did not pass any order retraining Arnab Goswami’s channel Republic TV with respect to the use of tagline ‘Nation Wants to Know.’ The tag has now become an identity of the Arnab.
The Republic Media Network and Bennett Coleman and Co. that owns the Times Now channel are fighting a legal battle over two years. The Delhi High Court today reportedly refused to grant interim relief to the latter with respect to use of the tagline “nation wants to know”, stating that a detailed examination of the issue is required.
This means that Times Now cannot refrain Republic TV from using the tagline, which was popularised by Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami when he worked as editor and news anchor for Times Now. The court however barred Republic TV from using the tagline ‘NEWs HOUR”.
“We’ve been fighting this battle since 2017. It wasn’t easy. Finally, today we have succeeded,” says Malvika Trivedi of Phoenix Legal who represented Republic in court, with Arnab and Team Republic now able to use the phrase.
