A division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court (HC) comprising Justices C. Manavendranath Roy and Tarlada Rajasekhar Rao on September 27 directed the Director General of Police to issue notices to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders Gorantla Butchaiah Chowdary (MLA, Rajamundry rural constituency) and Buddha Venkanna (former MLC) and 24 others in a criminal contempt petition filed by the State.
They are accused of abusing HC judges K. Sreenivasa Reddy and K. Suresh Reddy and Vijayawada Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Court judge B. S. V. Himabindu for giving adverse verdicts against TDP national president and former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu in a slew of corruption cases.
