The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Court Judge K. Ravinder Reddy, who resigned soon after acquitting all the accused in the Macca Masjid bomb blast case here on April 16, withdrew his resignation and applied for voluntary retirement.
Mr Ravinder Reddy’s resignation touched headlin-es as he had resigned from the post soon after delivering the verdict in the sensational bomb blast case wherein Hindu Right wing extremists were accused and it gave scope for suspicion that he faced pressure in delivering the verdict.
Sources pointed out that his leave application was rejected in view of the ongoing inquiry of the Vigilance wing of the High Court against him, for his alleged involvement in corruption cases.
