New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday reprimanded Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy over comments claiming bail this week for BRS leader K Kavitha, in the alleged Delhi liquor policy case, was due to a \u201cdeal\u201d between ex Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao\u2019s party and the ruling BJP.<\/p>\n
The reprimand came as a three-judge bench of Justices BR Gavai, PK Mishra, and KV Viswanathan was hearing a plea seeking transfer of the 2015 cash-for-votes case against the Chief Minister to Madhya Pradesh. The petitioners argued he could influence witnesses and tamper with evidence.<\/p>\n
During the hearing the Supreme Court was told, \u201cIt has been publicly reported\u2026 the kind of statements he (the Chief Minister) made \u2013 that if police does anything, he will have them beaten up on streets\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
That shocking claim aside, the hearing began on a positive note for the Chief Minister, with the court indicating reluctance to transfer the case and expressing \u201ccomplete faith\u201d in its state colleagues.<\/p>\n
After a flurry of arguments the court said it would rule at 2 pm.<\/p>\n
Come 2 pm, however, it was an enraged Supreme Court that assembled and red-flagged deep concern over the \u201cmanner of a statement\u201d made by the Chief Minister. \u201cHave you read what (he) said\u2026 just read\u2026 such statements by a Chief Minister might rightly create apprehension,\u201d Justice Gavai said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShould a person holding a constitutional post make such statements? There should be mutual respect (between politicians and judiciary)\u2026 how can anyone say we pass orders for political reasons?\u201d the court said, \u201cIf you do not respect (us) then we will send (your) trial elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the highest court in the country\u2026 just yesterday we issued notice to Maharashtra\u2019s Additional Chief Secretary (Forest and Revenue Department),\u201d the court warned Mr Reddy.<\/p>\n
The reference was to a notice demanding to know why the ACS, Rajesh Kumar, should not face contempt proceedings for suggesting the Supreme Court is not following the law.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill we pass our order after consulting any political party? This (claim) should be the basis for transfer of the case\u2026 we perform our duty according to conscience and oath\u2026\u201d the court raged.<\/p>\n
A bench of Justices Gavai and Viswanathan reasoned, \u201cWe find the investigation complete\u2026 custody is not necessary\u2026 she has been in jail for five months\u201d, and noted, as it had when releasing ex Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, \u201cthe likelihood of a trial in the near future is impossible\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
After bail was granted, Mr Reddy was quoted by the Times of India as saying, \u201cIt is a fact that BRS worked for the victory of the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha poll. There is also talk Kavitha got bail because of the deal between BRS and BJP\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
