A Vacation Bench of Justices J.K. Maheshwari and P.S. Narasimha asked, “Like how much time does it take to decide on an anticipatory bail petition? We are not happy”.
It ordered the anticipatory bail petition to be listed before the High Court’s Vacation Bench on May 25.
On April 24, the apex court had set aside a series of “extraordinary” directions passed by the High Court on April 18, in which it had ordered the CBI to supply the Kadapa MP with its “questionnaire” and also share with him questions and answers in written form at the time of interrogation.
The apex court had said that such directions amounted to “stultifying” the entire investigation into the murder. The April 24 order had also exposed Mr. Reddy to arrest.
Mr. Reddy had subsequently moved the High Court twice in April for anticipatory bail, but to no avail. The High Court had posted the bail plea to June 5. This when the apex court had given the CBI a deadline to complete the probe by June 30.
Appearing for Mr. Reddy, senior advocate V. Giri submitted that his client’s personal liberty was hanging by a thread. The CBI had already arrested his father in the case.
