Latest: SC gives Khan no immediate relief, asks High Court bench to consider interim relief on November 16
The Supreme Court declined to hear Azam Khan's challenge to his Enforcement Directorate arrest and sent it to the Allahabad High Court. It asked for records to be moved within two days and for a division bench to list the matter on November 16, considering interim relief.
Khan's lawyer Kapil Sibal called the arrest mala fide and said it was timed to keep Khan in custody before the UP elections, while the ED alleges land was forcibly acquired for Jauhar University and says it has attached assets worth Rs 426.46 crore. The court said it was expressing no view on the merits. Summary updated 5 Nov, 18:46 IST
Why it matters: The case involves a prominent Uttar Pradesh opposition leader, claims of political misuse of central agencies and the question of how courts handle repeat cases against one person.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.

Headline before this update: Supreme Court sends Azam Khan's ED arrest plea to Allahabad High Court
Summary before this update: The Supreme Court declined to hear Azam Khan's challenge to his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate and sent it to the Allahabad High Court, to be listed before a division bench on November 16. Khan's lawyers called the arrest mala fide and said it was timed to keep him in jail before the UP elections, while the court expressed no view on the merits.
Note before this update: Coverage is largely a straight court report; outlets differ mainly in how much space they give Khan's side's claims of political timing.
“What's missing” before this update:
Based on 6 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 4 of 15 (Times of India, Hindustan Times, ABP, Times Now).
Coverage is largely a straight court report; outlets differ mainly in how much space they give Khan's side's claims of political timing and the ED's allegations.
No real disagreement between sides in this coverage.
Why: Court report centred on Khan's claims of political misuse of agencies, with no ED reply; mild civil-liberties framing, but the procedural court angle keeps it near centre.
Why: Straight court report giving both the Supreme Court's decision and Sibal's allegation of political timing. It does not touch the ideological dimensions strongly, so it scores centre and neutral.
Why: Court report with a neutral tone. Sibal's persecution claims get most space, but the court's non-committal stance and the prosecution background balance it. Mild civil-liberties angle, so a slight lean.
Why: Mostly a procedural court report relaying both Azam Khan's mala fide claim and ED allegations; touches security-law civil liberties lightly, with no loaded framing. Centre.
Why: Court report giving both the bench's remarks and Sibal's persecution claims plus ED background; no loaded wording. Touches civil liberties and security-law use only lightly, so it stays centre.
Why: Court report quoting both bench and Khan's lawyer, plus ED's stated position. Touches civil liberties and state agency power only lightly; no loaded wording or editorialising.
Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.

A story is Live while coverage arrives, Winding down after about 2 days without new coverage, and Archived after about 7. Sport results skip winding down and are archived after about 2 days, unless police or a court are involved. Nothing is deleted: links never change, archived scores are frozen, and stories stay on their issue pages and in search.
