New Delhi: On January 4, the Supreme Court rejected a plea filed by Congressman Pawan Khera contesting the Allahabad High Court's refusal of dismissing the criminal case against him for allegedly slandering Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The high court ruling was not something that the bench of Justices B. R. Gavai and Sandeep Mehta felt inclined to meddle with. "Sorry, we are not inclined," the Bench said.

On August 17 last year, the high court had dismissed Mr. Khera's plea saying the evidence collected by the investigating officer of the case cannot be evaluated in petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) for quashing the case.

On March 20 last year, the top court had clubbed three FIRs lodged against Pawan Khera in Assam and Uttar Pradesh for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Modi and transferred the matter to the Hazratganj police station in Lucknow while extending his interim bail.

The Lucknow court had granted him bail in the case. Mr. Khera has tendered an unconditional apology in the court for the alleged remarks.
