Supreme Court Transfers Azam Khan's Bail Plea to Allahabad High Court for November 16 Hearing
The Supreme Court transferred Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan's bail plea in a money laundering case to the Allahabad High Court, directing a hearing on November 16 with interim orders to be considered the same day. Khan, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate shortly after release on bail in a dual PAN card case, alleges political motivation behind his arrest. His counsel, Kapil Sibal, claims harassment and misuse of legal processes to keep Khan incarcerated ahead of Uttar Pradesh elections. The Supreme Court declined immediate relief, emphasizing the High Court's jurisdiction without commenting on case merits.
