Hawara is serving a sentence in connection with the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh.
According to the report, an Intelligence Bureau (IB) assessment cited concerns that transferring Hawara to a Punjab prison could have an impact on the upcoming elections in the state.
The Supreme Court has indicated that it will take up the matter after the elections. The petition seeks permission for Hawara to serve the remainder of his sentence in a prison in Punjab instead of Tihar Jail in Delhi.
The latest development means that Hawara will continue to remain lodged in Tihar Jail while the legal proceedings concerning his requested transfer remain pending.
No further details about the next hearing date or any additional directions from the court were provided in the available report.
