SC Bench Posts Sunitha's Petition to June 13

Anantapur: A Supreme Court bench on Friday posted to June 13 the petition of Dr. N. Sunitha challenging the Telangana High Court decision granting anticipatory bail to Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy in the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case.

The matter figured in SC for urgent listing before a vacation bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal.

Sunitha, daughter of the murdered former MP, contended through her counsel Siddharth Luthra that Avinash Reddy has for several times not cooperated on summons issued by CBI.

“He is the principal conspirator in the murder of Vivekananda Reddy. The High Court had initially refused to grant him interim protection. Key witnesses in the case need protection from the MP. The CBI is also opposing bail for Avinash Reddy,” Luthra pointed out, seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to the MP.

Justice Bose then proceeded to list the case on June 13.

A few days ago, the CBI had listed Avinash Reddy as accused number 8 in the Vivekananda Reddy murder case.
