Breaking News: Supreme Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Pawan Khera in Assam Case

The Supreme Court has granted interim relief to Congress leader Pawan Khera by providing him anticipatory bail in a case registered in Guwahati. The case stems from allegations made by Khera against the wife of Himanta Biswa Sarma, which led to an FIR filed by her, triggering legal proceedings and a potential arrest scenario. The Supreme Court observed that custodial interrogation was not necessary and directed Khera to cooperate with the investigation, appear before authorities when required, and avoid leaving the country without permission. The court also noted that the case appears to involve political rivalry, and took into account arguments from both sides. The Congress welcomed the decision, calling it a victory of truth and justice, while criticizing the political motivations behind the case. The matter had earlier been heard in the Gauhati High Court, where Khera did not receive relief, leading him to approach the Supreme Court.
