📌 Paras 1-3
The appellant, Pawan Khera, sought anticipatory bail after an FIR was registered against him for allegedly displaying fabricated documents, including purported passports of the complainant (wife of the Chief Minister of Assam), at a press conference. The complainant alleged defamation and fabrication of documents, while the appellant contended that the alleged acts did not constitute the invoked offenses under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and that he merely exhibited documents received from others without the requisite mens rea. The prosecution argued that the documents were forged, necessitating custodial interrogation, and that the appellant was not traceable.
