Supreme Court Reserves Order on Congress Leader Pawan Khera’s Bail Plea

The Supreme Court of India has reserved its judgment regarding a plea for anticipatory bail filed by Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera. The case stems from allegations involving the dissemination of a forged passport document related to the wife of the Assam Chief Minister. Khera argued that the charges against him involve bailable offenses and that arrest would serve only to humiliate him. Conversely, the Assam government opposed the plea, claiming the leader had previously evaded authorities. This legal development follows a prior seven-day transit bail granted by the Telangana High Court, which was subsequently challenged by the Assam Police.
