Supreme Court Criticizes Telangana Chief Minister

The Supreme Court criticized Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for his remarks suggesting a 'deal' between the BJP and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regarding the bail granted to BRS leader K. Kavitha in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. The court deemed Reddy's comments inappropriate for a constitutional functionary, stating they could create public apprehension about the integrity of its decisions. Justice B R Gavai emphasized that the court does not consult political parties when issuing orders and expressed concern over political interference in judicial matters. Reddy's allegations followed the contrasting bail timelines of Kavitha and other political figures, raising suspicions about favoritism. The Supreme Court's rebuke underscores the necessity for mutual respect between political leaders and judicial institutions.
