The Supreme Court on May 26 stayed a Telangana High Court order to release Yerra Gangi Reddy — the prime accused in the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case — on bail on July 1.
A Vacation Bench of Justices J.K. Maheshwari and P.S. Narasimha passed the order on the basis of a petition filed by Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Suneetha Narreddy, represented by senior advocate Siddharth Luthra.
Ms. Narreddy highlighted that the Telangana High Court order on April 27 was out of character, as it had first cancelled the accused’s bail, asking him to surrender on May 5, only to add that he should be released on bail on July 1.
