A.P. charges against lawmaker do not require custodial interrogation, says court.
The Supreme Court on Friday decided there is no need for the Jaganmohan Reddy-led YSR Congress government in Andhra Pradesh to keep its Narasapuram MP and party’s vocal critic, Raghu Ramakrishna Raju, now accused of sedition, in custody and granted him bail. A Bench of Justices Vineet Saran and B.R. Gavai, after a hearing, which spanned the better part of the day and extended beyond normal court hours, gave Mr. Raju his liberty back. The court referred to his bodily injuries highlighted in a medical report prepared by the Secunderabad Army Hospital doctors and the fact that his charges did not require custodial interrogation to rule in his favour. The court said the possibility of ill-treatment cannot be ruled out.More Related News
