Supreme Court Stays Khera's Bail Order: Legal Battle Continues

The Supreme Court has temporarily stayed a Telangana High Court's order that granted transit anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera. This move comes in response to a plea by the Assam government, challenging the earlier court's decision favoring Khera.

Khera is embroiled in a legal dispute following allegations he made against the wife of Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma. The allegations include claims of undisclosed foreign property and multiple passports, which the Sarmas have denied as baseless.

The top court indicated that the case would be heard again in three weeks and clarified that Khera would not face adverse outcomes from today's decision if he seeks anticipatory bail in Assam during this period.
