Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has directed a trial court to expedite proceedings on a private complaint filed by a BJP leader against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy over his alleged comments against the saffron party during the recent Lok Sabha election campaign.
The High Court on Monday directed the Special Judicial First Class Magistrate (JFCM) for excise cases here to proceed and expeditiously decide the complaint as per law.
Telangana BJP general secretary Kasam Venkateshwarulu had earlier filed a private complaint in the special JFCM for excise cases, accusing the chief minister of making a statement on May 4 that if the BJP came to power, it would change the Constitution and end reservation. Will do it.
The petitioner said that this is misleading and wrong.
The magistrate court had adjourned the hearing of the complaint till July 6.
Challenging the trial court order, the BJP leader approached the high court with a criminal petition seeking direction to the trial court to investigate his complaint.
The High Court disposed of the criminal petition by directing the Magistrate to hear the petition on a day-to-day basis and to expedite the proceedings on the complaint.
