Passport row: SC refuses relief to Pawan Khera, declines plea to extend transit bail

The Supreme Court denied Congress leader Pawan Khera’s request for extended transit anticipatory bail, impacting his efforts to secure protection before an Assam court. This follows the apex court’s stay on a Telangana High Court order, raising concerns about “forum shopping” as the FIR originated in Assam. Khera can still seek bail in Assam.
