The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in connection with an FIR lodged by CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, with Assam Police over Khera’s allegation that she held multiple passports.
The Supreme Court flagged a series of remarks made by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma against Congress leader Pawan Khera while granting anticipatory bail to the latter in a criminal case registered in Assam. A Bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and AS Chandurkar noted that certain remarks made by Sarma were ‘unparliamentary’ and could not be ignored while considering Khera’s bail plea.
