    The Telangana High Court granted transit anticipatory bail for one week to Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera in a case registered by Assam Police for allegedly defamatory statements made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma at a press conference. The court found reasonable grounds for arrest apprehension and applied Supreme Court precedent allowing limited transit bail to enable access to competent jurisdictional courts, conditioning the relief on cooperation with investigation and restraint from public statements.
