The Gauhati High Court in Assam, India, has denied anticipatory bail to Pawan Khera, a Congress leader, in a case involving allegations against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma. Khera claimed she possessed multiple passports and undisclosed properties abroad. However, the court, led by Justice Parthiv Jyoti Saikia, found that the documents Khera relied upon were deemed false by the police. The judge stated that Khera's accusations appeared to be politically motivated and involved an innocent individual. The court emphasized the need for custodial interrogation to investigate Khera's associates and the origins of the documents. Khera's lawyer argued that the state's Advocate General, who represented the complainant, created a conflict of interest, leading to a potential miscarriage of justice. The court had previously reserved its order after hearing arguments from both sides.
