The Special Court for ACB Cases on Monday extended the judicial remand till June 29 of TDP MLA A Revanth Reddy and two other accused in the ‘Cash for Vote’ case.
Earlier, the accused – Revanth Reddy, Rudra Udaysimha and Harry Sebastian, were produced before the court on the conclusion of their judicial remand. The Anti-Corruption Bureau has submitted a Memo in the court seeking extension of judicial remand. The public prosecutor objected to granting of bail to Revanth Reddy and other accused on the grounds that investigations were still on and the evidences have been sent to Forensic Science Laboratory for examination.
The Public Prosecutor contended that the release of Revanth Reddy on bail before the receipt of FSL report might affect the investigation process. Further, he said that the Anti-Corruption Bureau was yet to record the statement of nominated MLA Elvis Stephenson.
Based on the argument, the court extended the judicial remand of all three accused for 14 days till June 29. (INN)
