The Supreme Court on April 24 set aside a Telangana High Court order of April 18 which gave Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy interim protection and asked him to make himself available at the CBI office between April 19 to April 25 where he would be given a printed questionnaire in a Q&A format.
This was in connection to the investigation in the murder case of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, a member of the Indian National Congress and brother of the late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
Terming the High Court order “unwarranted”, a Bench of Chief Justice D. Y. Chandarchud and Justice P. S. Narasimha quashed the direction the HC had issued to the CBI, adding that the order was “extraordinary” and “stultified” the investigation.
