Boost for Bandi as HC allows continuation of yatra
Deccan ChronicleIn a major boost to state BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar, the Telangana High Court on Thursday cleared the continuation of the third phase of his Praja Sangrama Yatra, which was stopped by the police on Tuesday. The court expressed surprise at the contention of the police that Sanjay was delivering provocative speeches during the yatra. A single bench headed by Justice Tadakamalla Vinod Kumar ruled that it was illegal and undemocratic to stop the yatra and gave interim suspension orders on the notices issued by Wardhannapet police that had halted Sanjay. As the government failed to furnish the affidavit and could not give clarity as to when and where Sanjay had delivered such provocative speeches, the court faulted the notices issued by the police to stop the yatra.
