HC allows SIT to send fresh notice to Santosh for ‘poachgate’ questioning
HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court on Wednesday allowed the SIT investigating the alleged attempt of the BJP to poach TRS MLAs to issue fresh notices, under Section 41A of the CrPC, to BJP national secretary B.L. In the hearing of the petition filed by the BJP and the ‘poachgate’ accused seeking a CBI probe by Justice Bollam Vijaysen Reddy, the counsel for the SIT and Telangana home department told the court that Santosh failed to appear for questioning and had responded that he was otherwise occupied in poll-bound states. Additional Advocate General J. Ramachandra Rao requested the court to modify its November 19 order that directed the SIT not to arrest Santosh until further orders. However, the court refused to modify the order preventing Santosh’s arrest, with Justice Reddy questioning how the court could order an arrest without hearing any contention of the notice. Meanwhile, senior Supreme Court counsel Mahesh Jethmalani, appearing for the three accused in the case, requested the High Court for a final hearing on petitions filed by his clients, Ramachandra Bharathi, Simhayaji and Nanda Kumar, seeking a CBI probe.
