What Happened
The Supreme Court stayed a Telangana High Court order granting Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera transit anticipatory bail. Khera faces charges related to remarks about Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The Assam government challenged the ruling, arguing Telangana High Court lacked jurisdiction. The stay allows Assam police to proceed with coercive measures. A hearing is scheduled for three weeks.
