File counter in MLA release plea, HC tells police

Telangana High Court on Tuesday directed the State government to file counter affidavit in four weeks in a writ petition filed by T. Usha Bhai, wife of Goshamahal MLA T. Raja Singh who was arrested under the Telangana Preventive Detention Act, seeking his release.

Petitioner’s counsel made a mention about the plea before a bench of Justices Shameem Akthar and E. V. Venugopal

The suspension came after his “objectionable comments” on Prophet Mohammed through a video clip which was uploaded by him referring to a show by a comedian Munawar Farooq. Eventually, the police registered a criminal case under different sections of law, arrested him and presented him before a local magistrate in Hyderabad.
