The Dwarka court on Thursday granted interim bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera following the order passed by the Supreme Court.
He was arrested at the Delhi Airport by the Assam Police in a case related to an alleged remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Archana Beniwal granted interim bail to Khera on furnishing
a bond of Rs 30,000.
The court while granting the relief also imposed some conditions. The court granted the relief after considering the order passed by the Supreme Court earlier in the day. It was received through email at around 6 PM.
The court granted the relief after hearing the submissions made by Randeep Surjewala and the Assam police.
Assam police sought the transit remand of Pawan Khera.
Supreme Court earlier directed the Dwarka Court to grant interim bail to Congress leader Khera and issued notice to Assam Police and UP Police on plea seeking clubbing of FIRs.
Supreme Court said, “Till the next date of hearing, the petitioner will be released on interim bail by Dwarka court.”
