To bring you up to speed on what's happening in the Supreme Court: Pawan Khera was arrested on Thursday at the Delhi airport after being deplaned from a flight to Raipur in connection with his alleged remarks against Modi at the request of Assam Police.

While he was still under detention at the airport, his lawyer approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection from arrest.

Senior counsel Mohit Mathur, representing the leader, mentioned the matter before a bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma in the post lunch session. The high court bench, also comprising Justice Subramonium Prasad, directed that Khera's plea be listed for hearing today itself.

"I am a senior functionary of the Congress party. There are FIRs registered for one of my speeches. I was on a flight and I am deplaned," Mathur said.

Singhvi earlier told the apex court bench that multiple FIRs have been lodged against Khera over his alleged remarks against the prime minister.

"He (Khera) has made statements in a press conference. He has made certain statements which I cannot say in the court but I personally would not have made them," Singhvi said.

He said due to the statements, multiple FIRs have been lodged against Khera in different states and, currently, Assam Police are at the airport here to take him into custody.
