Pawan Khera Moves Supreme Court Against Denial of Anticipatory Bail

The Congress said it will challenge the bail denial as Assam Police pursue defamation, forgery and conspiracy charges against Khera.

  • On Sunday, Indian National Congress leader Pawan Khera filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Gauhati High Court's Friday decision to deny him anticipatory bail.
  • Assam Police registered the FIR after Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, filed a complaint alleging defamation and forgery regarding Khera's claims about her holding passports from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Antigua and Barbuda.
  • Justice Parthivjyoti Saikia rejected Khera's plea, citing serious allegations of forged documents and potential evasion of investigation after the Supreme Court directed him to approach the Assam court.
  • The Indian National Congress said it stands "solidly in solidarity" with Khera, its Media and Publicity Department Chairman, while party leader Jairam Ramesh expressed confidence that justice will prevail.
  • Lawyer Priyansha Sharma filed the petition on Sunday evening, though the matter has not yet been listed for a Supreme Court hearing regarding the defamation, forgery, and criminal conspiracy charges.
