Supreme Court Raps Revanth Reddy For His Jibe on Bail To Kavitha

Sunday, October 6, 2024

The Supreme Court on Thursday took strong exception to comments made by Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy regarding the bail granted to BRS leader K Kavitha in connection with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

It took severe exception that Reddy had publicly questioned why Kavitha received bail after just five months, while others, like AAP leader Manish Sisodia, had been denied bail for longer periods.

Justice B R Gavai who is heading the Supreme Court bench asked, “Is this a kind of statement that should be made by a CM?” The Apex court criticised the statements and remarks made by the CM and said that how can a constitutional functionary speak in such a manner. 

The Supreme Court said, “How can anyone say we pass orders for political reasons? Such statements might create apprehensions in the minds of people and if the judiciary doesn’t interfere in the legislature, then the same is expected from them.”

Adding to this, the top court also said that it is not bothered about someone criticizing but they will keep performing the duties as per their conscience.  “Will we pass our order after consulting any political party? We perform our duty according to conscience and oath…” the court raged.

Earlier Reddy questioned the Apex Court’s decision to grant bail to Kavitha and said, “It took 15 months for Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia to get bail, and even Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is still waiting. Yet, Kavitha managed to secure bail in just five months. It raises questions about possible behind-the-scenes support of the BJP.”

He further alleged that the BRS had clandestinely supported the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections in Telangana, citing BRS leader Harish Rao’s involvement in securing eight seats for the BJP and BRS pushed to third places in several constituencies.

 “It is a fact that BRS worked for the victory of the BJP in the 2024 LS polls. There is also talk that Kavitha got bail because of the deal between BRS and BJP,” he said.
