BRS working president KTR and two others sought stay on all further proceedings in the FIR for video graphing the visuals of the Medigadda Barrage during their visit on July 26 as there was no prior permission accorded to the petitioners to video-graph visuals.

The petitioner’s counsel told the court that KTR and other party leaders visited the barrage at Kaleshwaram project to bring out facts as the State government is not lifting water, thereby causing water shortage for the Kharif and resulting in loss to farmers.

KTR and others, through their counsel said though sufficient mechanism was available to lift water from the barrage, Irrigation officials, with a mala fide intent, are not lifting water. When the same was being video-graphed, a case was registered against them.

The court issued notices to the State and directed it to file response within two weeks.
