Pawan Khera Granted Anticipatory Bail by Supreme Court<\/strong><\/p>\n In a significant development, Congress leader Pawan Khera was granted anticipatory bail by the Supreme Court on Saturday. Khera expressed that this relief is not only personal but also sends a strong message against the misuse of state power, alleging that the case against him is driven by “political vendetta.”<\/p>\n The case arose from comments made by Khera regarding Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The Supreme Court, led by Justices JK Maheshwari and Atul S Chandurkar, determined that the various allegations could be appropriately examined during the trial, making custodial interrogation unnecessary at this point.<\/p>\n Khera reacted to the court’s decision, stating, \u201cMy bail is not just a victory for me but a reminder that in our Constitutional Democracy, personal freedom should not be sacrificed for political aims.\u201d He emphasized the importance of truth, saying, \u201cNo matter how strong the lies might seem, truth will prevail\u2026 Satyameva Jayate!\u201d He also extended his gratitude to Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi for their steadfast support.<\/p>\n Exchanges Between Leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n The day before, Khera\u2019s bail prompted a response from Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who urged Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to reconsider his position based on the court’s remarks. Singhvi clarified, \u201cI\u2019m nobody to advise the CM of Assam, but I plead with him to reflect on his stance.\u201d<\/p>\n Sarma, however, sharply dismissed Singhvi\u2019s appeal, stating he doesn\u2019t need lessons on democracy and insisted that \u201cdecency and him can never be in the same room.\u201d Sarma reaffirmed that the legal fight is ongoing, asserting, \u201cThis is just the beginning, not the end.\u201d<\/p>\n In his comments on social media, Sarma described the case as involving a woman who has no political ties and accused Khera of attacking her character on national television using falsified documents. He expressed confidence that justice would prevail.<\/p>\n Court’s Observation on Political Rivalry<\/strong><\/p>\n The Supreme Court highlighted that the case exhibits elements of political rivalry and noted that the allegations may be politically motivated. The court assured that the facts would be thoroughly explored during the trial.<\/p>\n While granting Khera bail, the court instructed him to cooperate with the investigation, appear before the police when summoned, and avoid any attempts to influence witnesses or destroy evidence. The court also left open the possibility for the trial court to impose further conditions if deemed necessary.<\/p>\n Khera had previously sought bail from the Gauhati High Court but was denied on April 24.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pawan Khera Granted Anticipatory Bail by Supreme Court In a significant development, Congress leader Pawan Khera was granted anticipatory bail by the Supreme Court on Saturday.
