A single judge Bench of the High Court comprising Justice D. Ramesh on Wednesday stayed the proceedings against CBI Additional SP Ram Singh in a case registered by the Andhra Pradesh police on the charge of intimidating Gajjala Uday Kumar Reddy, whose suspected involvement in Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s murder is being investigated.
Justice Ramesh issued the interim order during the hearing of a quash petition filed by the CBI and posted the matter after four weeks. He also ordered that notices be served to Uday Kumar Reddy.
Assistant Solicitor General of India (ASG) N. Harinath argued on behalf of the CBI that the complaint filed by Uday Kumar Reddy against Mr. Ram Singh was intended to hamper the investigation. It was originally a private complaint filed by Uday Kumar Reddy in the Pulivendula court and the same was referred to the local police station.
