Supreme Court Halts Telangana High Court Relief in Pawan Khera Transit Bail Case

Supreme Court Halts Telangana High Court Relief in Pawan Khera Transit Bail Case

The Supreme Court stayed the Telangana High Court’s order granting one-week transit anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in a case registered by Assam Police over alleged defamation, forgery, and conspiracy.

The Assam side argued that Khera had improperly invoked Telangana’s jurisdiction by relying on residential documents linked to his wife, amounting to “forum shopping.”

The Court observed that jurisdiction appeared to lie in Assam and questioned the basis of the High Court’s relief.

It issued notice in the matter and kept the High Court order in abeyance, while allowing Khera to seek regular anticipatory bail before the appropriate court in Assam.
