He further said, “Some sections invoked against me are bailable, others don’t require arrest.”Khera also submitted that if he does not get anticipatory bail in the case registered against him in Assam, “then purpose of pre-arrest bail is gone.”A bench of Justices JK Maheshwari and AS Chandurkar reserved its verdict after hearing arguments from both sides.Appearing for Khera, senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi said the case did not warrant custodial interrogation and reiterated that arrest was unnecessary.Opposing the plea, solicitor general Tushar Mehta, representing the Assam government, told the court that Khera had shown “fake” and “doctored” copies of passports belonging to the chief minister’s wife. He also alleged that Khera had been absconding and disseminating videos, while maintaining that claims of multiple citizenship were false.The case stems from allegations made by Khera regarding Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, following which criminal complaints were filed against him at the Guwahati crime branch under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.Khera has challenged an April 24 order of the Gauhati High Court, which denied him anticipatory bail.Earlier, the Telangana high court had granted him a seven-day transit anticipatory bail. However, the Assam Police moved the apex court against the relief, following which the Supreme Court stayed the transit bail and directed Khera to approach the Gauhati High Court.The top court is now expected to deliver its order on Khera’s anticipatory bail plea in due course.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosYogi Adityanath Attacks Samajwadi Party In Assembly, Cites 1995 Guest House CaseIran’s Araghchi Speaks To EAM Jaishankar As West Asia Crisis Deepens, India Calls For De-escalationWhy the India-Bangladesh Border Fencing Delay Is Under SC and High Court Scrutiny: ExplainedDRDO & Indian Navy Successfully Conduct Maiden Salvo Launch Of NASM-SR Missile System12 Killed, Dozens Injured As Pickup Collides With SUV On Indore–Ahmedabad HighwayNYC Mayor Mamdani Says He’ll Urge King Charles To Return Kohinoor DiamondRaghav Chadha Fallout: Who Really Wins and Loses in Punjab?Mumbai–Pune Expressway’s ‘Missing Link’ Opens May 1: Faster Travel, Better Safety, No Extra Toll90-Year-Old Rejects Apology, Then Court Pushes ₹20 Crore Case to 2046Ganga Expressway Inaugurated: What ₹1,500 Toll Gets You on UP’s 594-km High-Speed Corridor | PM Modi123PhotostoriesSimple wall decor ideas that can transform your homeGK Fact of the Day: 6 accidental innovations that revolutionised everyday life6 celebrities with twins and how parenting them is differentWhat happens when you knead roti dough with curd’Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2′: Akashdeep Saigal’s casting as Rio sparks meme fest online – have a lookTaking painkillers in summer?

But, more than fate, as per my ideology and as per my service to the party so far, Sonia Gandhi takes decisions regarding me,” he said.”But, that question does not arise now. There is already a chief minister here. If Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and I, together, have to take any decision in the direction of a change, it will take some time. Let’s wait and see,” he added.Supporters of deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar have been insisting on his on his elevation in lines with a rumoured power-sharing agreement with CM Siddaramaiah when the party won the 2023 assembly polls.Amid speculations about the leadership change in Karnataka, Parameshwara said on Wednesday that everyone in the ruling Congress party will welcome, if Kharge, a senior politician with a lot of experience, becomes the chief minister.A power struggle between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar intensified as soon as the Congress government in Karnataka completed its halfway mark in November last year. Several MLAs and MLCs from DKS camped in Delhi to push the party high command to make him the next chief minister.DK Shivakumar added to the speculations after he claimed that there had indeed been “a confidential understanding on leadership transition among five-six leaders” soon after Congress won a landslide in the 2023 elections.The deputy chief minister made the first reference to the power pact but stopped short of divulging more details. “This is confidential. I don’t want to speak publicly on this,” he said.The leadership tussle within the ruling party has intensified amid speculation about a possible change of chief minister after the Congress government completed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, 2025. The speculation has been fuelled by the reported “power-sharing” arrangement between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar at the time of government formation in 2023.After Congress won in Karnataka assembly in 2023, party high command was in a fix over the CM face. After days of deliberation, the party went ahead with Siddaramaiah’s name given his seniority and popularity. However, an agreement was reportedly reached that DK Shivakumar would take over the reins in the second half of the government.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

During the previous hearing, the court had issued a notice to the agency seeking its stand on the application.Senior advocate Vikas Pahwa, appearing for Chandela, said, “We filed a regular bail application a few days ago, and the ED was supposed to file a reply. Yesterday, they filed their reply and raised no objection to the grant of bail, primarily on the grounds that he has cooperated with the investigating agency and has provided voluntary and purposeful cooperation. That is the language used by them. He has also provided the information and other data required during the investigation. The statement of the investigating officer was recorded, and no objection was raised.”Earlier, the court had dismissed Chandela’s interim bail plea, which was filed on the grounds of his mother’s illness, and had listed his regular bail application for further consideration.Chandela was arrested earlier this month after the ED conducted searches at multiple locations in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai as part of its probe into a money laundering case linked to an alleged coal scam in West Bengal.The investigation pertains to financial dealings involving political consultancy firm I-PAC, which has worked with parties including the Trinamool Congress and DMK.Officials are also examining transactions linked to Vijay Nair, with sources indicating that certain payments made to the consultancy firm are under scrutiny as part of the broader probe.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
