The Supreme Court had on July 5 refused to intervene in a petition filed by the private assistant of murdered former Andhra Pradesh Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, who claimed that as “first informant” he was the competent person to challenge the pardon and anticipatory bail granted to the approver in the case.
A Bench of Justices Krishna Murari and Sanjay Kumar had observed that the issues raised by the applicant, M.V. Krishna Reddy, concerned questions of fact and law.
These questions required detailed consideration of arguments raised by parties, and could not be dealt with by the Supreme Court.
