Cash-for-vote case: SC to appoint independent special public prosecutor

Deccan Chronicle  

The court was hearing an appeal by former minister and BRS Suryapet legislator G. Jagadish Reddy seeking the transfer of the case to Bhopal as Revanth Reddy has become the Chief Minister of Telangana and police and prosecution will be in the hands of the state government. Opposing it, senior advocate Aryama Sundara, appearing for Jagadish Reddy, argued that the ACB was under the control of Revanth Reddy, who was the main accused in the case. Also, the state government had changed its stance on the possibility of Revanth Reddy influencing witnesses Senior advocate Dama Seshadri Naidu, representing other petitioners, referred to the petitioners' apprehensions about the trial in the light of the Telangana government's manner of prosecution and certain statements made by Revanth Reddy with regard to police officials as well as the Supreme Court. Senior advocates Mukul Rohatgi and Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Revanth Reddy and other accused, and Menaka Guruswamy, appearing for the Telangana government, objected to the contentions raised by the petitioners.
