In a matter filed by YSRCP leader and former MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy and his brother Pinnelli Venkatarami Reddy before the Supreme Court seeking anticipatory bail in the double murder case of two Telegu Desam Party (TDP) workers, a Bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta denied to grant them anticipatory bail while asking them to surrender within two weeks.
The two brothers were accused of being the masterminds behind the murder of Javishetty Venkateshwarlu and Javishetty Koteshwar Rao, who were killed while travelling on a motorcycle in Andhra Pradesh. After being denied anticipatory bail by the High Court, they approached the Supreme Court.
The complainant raised an objection, stating that the petitioners had a copy of the statements under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), which they had also filed before the Court. The Court found this unacceptable and questioned how the petitioners knew the intrinsic facts of the case diary.
Even though the petitioners tried to explain how they were in possession of the material of the case diary, the Court expressed its displeasure and dismissed the pleas for anticipatory bail of both accused persons.
