Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Monday granted time to the TS ACB to file a reply to the objections raised by Jerusalem Mattaiah, one of the accused in the cash-for-vote scam. Justice B. Siva Sankara Rao was conducting in camera proceedings with audio and video recording to hear the quash petition of Mathaiah.
Ravi Kiran Rao, counsel appearing for the ACB, reportedly submitted that petitioner’s counsel has raised objections through an affidavit on the chargesheet against the petitioner and urged the judge to grant time to file his reply. Counsel for petitioner reportedly pointed out that the charge-sheet was not yet numbered and initiation of prosecution itself was wrong.
