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.
