Today, a hearing took place in the Supreme Court regarding the cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to YCP MP Avinash Reddy in the Jagan Baba YS Viveka murder case. The further hearing has been adjourned until the 19th.
Sunitha Reddy, the petitioner herself, presented her case and argued in court, as the court did not entertain the arguments of senior lawyers. The court did not address the issue of issuing notices to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as it did not hear the arguments of the senior lawyers.
The Supreme Court allowed Sunitha Reddy to file additional documents in support of her case. Sunitha had approached the Supreme Court challenging the anticipatory bail granted to Avinash Reddy by the High Court in the Vivekananda Reddy murder case.
In her petition, Sunitha argued that the Telangana High Court did not consider various factors while granting anticipatory bail to Avinash Reddy. She claimed that the evidence collected by the CBI was not taken into account, and anticipatory bail was granted to Avinash Reddy in the murder case despite the Supreme Court’s involvement.
Sunitha also alleged that Avinash Reddy has not been cooperating with the CBI investigation. Despite receiving three notices to appear for CBI investigation, he did not comply and sought refuge in Avinash Reddy Hospital, citing his mother’s illness.
Supporters and individuals associated with Avinash Reddy prevented the CBI from arresting him, and he allegedly destroyed evidence at the crime scene in the presence of local police. Apart from transferring the CBI investigation from Andhra Pradesh, the Supreme Court directed the CBI to uncover the broader conspiracy behind Viveka’s murder.
Sunitha argued for the cancellation of Avinash Reddy’s anticipatory bail in light of these developments. She presented her arguments in court as a part-in-person litigant.
