The CID on Thursday opposed YSRCP Member of Parliament K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju’s plea in the Andhra Pradesh High Court for a blanket stay on the FIR registered against him under Sections 124A (sedition), 153A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code in the light of the Supreme Court’s order staying all the proceedings in sedition cases.
Appearing for the CID before Justice Manavendranath Roy, Advocate-General S. Sriram pointed out that the apex court had made it clear that if there were any other offences along with sedition, the courts might allow the proceedings to go on about the rest of the offences without any prejudice to the accused.
