Revanth Reddy gets nod to visit Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Justice Raja Elango of the High Court on Tuesday relaxed the bail conditions of TD MLA A. Revanth Reddy, the accused in the cash-for-vote case, by allowing him to visit Hyderabad.

HC grants bail to Hasan Ali
Justice Raja Elango of the Hyderabad High Court on Tuesday granted bail to Pune-based stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan in a fake passport case.

Hyderabad-born Hasan Ali Khan had been languishing in the Arthur Road Central Prison in Mumbai in connection with money laundering and income-tax evasion cases.

Hyderabad police had registered a case against Hasan Ali Khan in 2011 under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code and also under relevant provisions of the Passport Act for obtaining passports at the Regional Passport Office Hyderabad and from the Indian Embassy at London.

Earlier in 2012, the High Court had dismissed his anticipatory bail petition. Mr Vijaysen Reddy, the counsel appearing for Hasan Ali, said that he had been in judicial remand for the past four and a half years and the Hyderabad police had already filed the chargesheet in the case.

While allowing the bail petition, the judge granted bail directing the petitioner to furnish personal sureties before the trail court.

However, Mr Syed Aale Mohammed Quadri, the counsel for Hasan Ali, said that his client would remain in jail, as he would have to obtain bails in several other cases pending against him.
