The Delhi High Court refused to grant interim relief to YSRCP leader and former TTD chairman YV Subba Reddy in a defamation case over media reports on the Tirupati laddu adulteration controversy.
The Court held that restraining the media without hearing them is justified only in exceptional cases and allowed the matter to proceed after pleadings.
The Supreme Court will hear the explosive controversy regarding alleged animal fat in Tirupati laddoos on September 30. The political debate has intensified, with petitions from BJP leader Subramanian Swamy and YSR Congress MP YV Subba Reddy demanding investigations into purity claims. Both leaders are invoking scrutiny amid existing political rivalries.
YSR Congress leader YV Subba Reddy has moved the Supreme Court for a court-monitored investigation into allegations of animal fat in the sacred Tirupati Laddu prasadam. The controversy, sparked by a forensic report, has led to widespread outrage among devotees who consider the laddus a significant religious offering.
