Tamil Nadu: Madras HC Adjourns Hearing Of BJP Leader Amar Prasad Reddy's Bail Plea To 10 November
Amar Prasad Reddy
Hearing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amar Prasad Reddy's bail petition, the Madras High Court today (7 November) asked the police to file their response and adjourned the hearing to 10 November.
Reddy's plea for bail in a case filed against him for allegedly damaging a JCB machine brought to remove a BJP flag pole outside the house of BJP state president K Annamalai in Chennai's Panaiyur was rejected by the Chengalapattu court on 4 November.
Courts in Ambasamudram and Egmore had granted him bail in two other cases. While the bail plea heard by the Ambasamudram court was related to an altercation with police during the padayatra, the Egmore court heard a plea in a case filed against him for pasting a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a photo of Chief Minister MK Stalin put up for the Chess Olympiad in Chennai.
His wife, Nirosha, had earlier filed a plea in the High Court, asking it to restrain the government from invoking the Goondas Act against her husband.
