Today, On 2nd September, The Supreme Court emphasized the need for restraint from individuals in high office during a plea hearing involving Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The case dates back to 2015 when Revanth Reddy was accused of attempting to bribe an MLA. The plea requests the trial to be transferred to Bhopal, citing potential influence on the investigation due to Reddy’s position. The matter has been adjourned for further hearing.
The Supreme Court condemned a bank’s recovery agent firm as a “group of goons” for not returning a vehicle seized from a man despite a one-time loan settlement. The court ordered the West Bengal Police to file a charge sheet against the company within two months and directed compensation be paid to the man. The recovery agent eventually returned the damaged vehicle.
The Uttarakhand High Court granted default bail to 50 individuals accused of serious charges relating to the violence in Haldwani’s Banbhoolpura. The court overturned a lower court’s decision to allow the police additional time to file the charge sheet. The ruling stemmed from delays and sluggishness in the police probe, leading to concerns about prolonged detention without prompt investigation.
