Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Monday quashed a criminal case filed against KT Rama Rao, working president of the BRS party and Former Minister. Justice K Lakshman granted relief faulting the entire process of registration of FIR, investigation and the chargesheet.
The allegations in the criminal levelled in the criminal case are that KTR made defamatory comments against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy stating that Revanth Reddy had collected Rs 2500 Crores from contractors and builders to send it to congress party high command at Delhi.
Hearing the matter, Justice Lakshman pulled up the police for lodging the complaint based on political comments. The Judge observed that the police have abused the process of law.
The FIR in March 2024 before the Banjara Hills police station stemmed up from a zero FIR filed at Hanumakonda filed by Batthini Srinivas Rao, TPCC member.
Rao’s allegation involved that the wild allegations of KTR against CM Revanth Reddy have damaged the reputation of Congress party, further lowered the stature of a Chief Minister giving wrong signals to the people of Telangana.
Justice Lakshman hearing both sides found no merit in the criminal case and quashed it in a relief to KTR.
