Telangana High Court on Monday directed the HC Registry to pass on a copy of objections raised by it to former Minister and Member of Parliament Chegondi Venkata Harirama Jogaiah over his PIL petition seeking a direction to CBI special court to expedite trial of cases against Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
Before passing the direction, Chief Justice of the HC Ujjal Bhuyan sought to know from the petitioner’s counsel what public interest was involved in the petition. The CJ along with Justice N. Tukaramji was hearing the petition which was placed before the bench by the Registry observing the petition filed by Mr. Jogaiah cannot fit into the parameters of a PIL petition.
The bench noted that content of petition suggested that it was aimed at settling political scores rather than raising issues connected to people. The bench said there was no point in attempting to waste precious time of the courts by filing such petitions with politically motivated objectives.
