The Gauhati High Court has extended interim protection for journalist Abhisar Sharma until November 17.
Sharma's protection was granted in connection with an FIR registered against him for alleged remarks accusing Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of pursuing communal politics.
A bench of Justice Shamima Jahan extended the relief as the state failed to produce the case diary as ordered by the HC on September 19.
Sharma moved the HC after the Supreme Court's refusal.
Author's summary: Journalist Abhisar Sharma's interim protection extended.
