Kadapa MP Avinash Reddy Gets Anticipatory Bail

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has granted anticipatory bail to Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy in former Andhra Pradesh Minister Y.S. Vivekandnda Reddy's murder case.

The special vacation bench of the High Court, which had completed the hearing last week, pronounced its order on Wednesday.

The high court had taken up the hearing after Supreme Court had expressed displeasure over the delay in deciding Avinash Reddy's anticipatory bail petition.

The MP had not appeared before the CBI on May 16 and May 19 in Hyderabad. On May 16, he cited prior-fixed official engagements in Pulivendula as the reason and sought four days' time. On May 19, he conveyed to the CBI that he would not be able to appear before it as his mother took ill. She was admitted to a hospital in Kurnool and the MP was also staying there.
