HYDERABAD: In a big shock to TPCC president A Revanth Reddy, the Supreme Court while dismissing his quash petition on Tuesday made it clear that the cash-for-vote case came under the jurisdiction of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
Earlier, Revanth Reddy approached the Telangana High Court in connection with the cash-for-vote case. In his petition, the TPCC president stated that the cash-for-vote case did not come under the purview of ACB. However, the High Court dismissed the petition and Revanth Reddy approached the Supreme Court and challenged the High Court verdict.
A Supreme Court Bench of Justice NVN Bhatti and Justice Sanjeev Khanna, hearing both sides, said that there was prima facie evidence in the case, that it was fit to be dealt under the ACB investigation. The advocates that appeared on behalf of the Telangana Government said that all the evidence was submitted for scrutiny to the trial court.
However, the counsel of Revanth Reddy appealed dismissal of the case saying that the cash-for-vote issue did not come under the ACB's jurisdiction. After hearing the arguments from both sides, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition of Revanth Reddy.
