AP CM Jagan gets relief from Telangana High Court in poll case
The court grants stay till April 26 on orders by special sessions court for MLA and MP cases asking him to appear before it in a poll code violation case registered by Huzurnagar police during 2014 elections
Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court granted stay till April 26 on the orders of special sessions court for MLA and MP cases directing Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to appear before it in a 2014 case relating to alleged violation of poll code. On a petition filed by Chief Minister Reddy challenging the special sessions court order, the High Court exempted him from personal appearance in the case till April 26. It also admitted his petition for hearing.
Last week, the sessions court had directed Jagan Mohan Reddy and two others to appear before the court on March 28 in a pending case registered by Huzurnagar police.
On Monday, Reddy's counsel sought more time. The court had fixed March 31 as date for next hearing. The court had said that after Reddy's counsel files a memo, it will take a decision on his personal appearance. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister moved the High Court. The case pertains to the 2014 general elections when YSRCP led by Jagan Mohan Reddy had fielded its candidate from Huzurnagar Assembly constituency. The police had booked a case against Jagan Mohan Reddy and two other party leader G Nagi Reddy and G Srikhanth for organising a road show without taking permission from the competent authority, thus violating the model code of conduct.
