Vijayawada:The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed former parliamentarian V Vijayasai Reddy’s daughter Neha Reddy to remit Rs 48.21 lakh to the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation.
A division bench headed by chief justice Dheeraj Singh Thakur heard the petition filed by Jana Sena corporator Murthy Yadav here on Thursday and directed Neha Reddy to pay the amount.

The court also directed the Avyaan Realtors LLP, owned by her, to file its reply.

The court posted the next hearing in the case to Oct 16, before which Neha Reddy would have to make the payment as per the present order.
