SC slams trend of casting doubt on Telangana HC judges in cases involving politicians
New Delhi, Aug 11 (UNI) The Supreme Court today criticised the growing tendency among litigants and lawyers to assume that justice cannot be delivered by High Courts in matters involving political figures, warning that such unfounded allegations amount to contempt of court. A bench of Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai, Justice K. Vinod Chandran, and Justice Atul S. Chandurkar was hearing a case where it had earlier issued notice to litigant Peddi Raju and his counsel, asking why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against them for allegedly making scurrilous allegations against Telangana High Court judge Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya. The allegations were made in a petition seeking transfer of a case, in which Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had secured relief away from the Telangana High Court. The High Court had quashed certain criminal charges against Reddy under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The top court directed Raju and his lawyers to tender an apology before Justice Bhattacharya, leaving it to her discretion to accept or reject it. Referring to a recent precedent, the bench noted, 'Recently, a three-judge bench of this Court, to which two of us were party, held that wisdom lies in forgiving rather than punishing in such cases, and accepted the lawyer's apology.' In its order, the Supreme Court observed that such remarks in a petition constitute contempt, adding, 'We have noticed that nowadays it has become a trend among lawyers to critique judges of High Courts and trial courts. It has become a trend that when a matter involves a political figure, there is an assumption that there cannot be justice in the High Court.' The bench stressed that High Court judges, as constitutional authorities, enjoy the same respect and immunity as Supreme Court judges. 'Under the constitutional scheme, they have the same respect as the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court does not have any administrative control over the High Court or its judges. When such allegations are made against High Court judges, it is the duty of this Court to protect them,' the CJI-led Bench remarked. UNI SNG SS

Curb ‘lawlessness' in ZPTC bypolls, YSRCP urges SEC
Vijayawada: A YSRCP delegation met the State Election Commission (SEC) here on Monday, alleging 'unprecedented subversion of democracy' in the ZPTC byelections for Pulivendula and Ontimitta. Led by MLCs Lella Appi Reddy, Mondithoka Arun Kumar, Kalpalatha Reddy, and former ministers Perni Venkataramaiah (Nani), Velampalli Srinivas, and Jogi Ramesh, the group accused the TDP-led alliance of using compromised officials to intimidate voters, distribute cash, and attack YSRCP workers in Pulivendula, the home constituency of former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. Perni Nani claimed TDP leaders offered Rs 10,000 per vote and confiscated voter slips. The delegation demanded voter list redistribution, public announcements, helplines, and CCTV cameras at polling stations to ensure fair elections. They warned that the TDP's tactics would fail, asserting that free and fair elections would favor YSRCP, and the ruling alliance's actions would lead to its political downfall.
