Deputy Speaker Raghurama Krishna Raju sought the Supreme Court’s help to cancel Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s bail in a long-standing assets case. The Supreme Court declined, suggesting he pursue the matter in the High Court. Raju plans to file a new petition there, raising concerns about the case’s delays and Jagan’s bail impact.
Hyderabad: Deputy Speaker Raghurama Krishna Raju, who had earlier approached the Supreme Court over delays in the assets case against YSRC chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, sought the cancellation of Jagan’s bail. However, the Supreme Court declined to entertain the plea, advising Raju to pursue the matter in the High Court instead.
The Supreme Court bench, headed by Justice B.V. Naga Ratna, noted that approaching the apex court for bail cancellation in this instance was unnecessary. The bench stated that the High Court was the appropriate forum for such matters.
Following the Supreme Court’s observation, Raghurama Krishna Raju’s advocate announced the decision to withdraw the case from the Supreme Court and take it up with the High Court. The Supreme Court granted permission for this withdrawal and approved the appeal to transfer the matter to the High Court for further proceedings.
