Supreme Court dismisses anticipatory bail of IPS officer Sanjay, asks him to surrender in three weeks
The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the anticipatory bail granted by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh to N. Sanjay, former Director General (DG) of the A.P. State Disaster Response & Fire Services, and Additional DG of the Crime Investigation Department (CID), in the case registered against him by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). He was accused of manipulating tender processes for awarding contract work of developing and maintaining the AGNI - NOC (Governance & NOC Integration) web portal and mobile app, and supplying hardware to a private company in violation of the procedures in 2023. Mr. Sanjay was also accused of not properly monitoring the progress of AGNI-NOC portal, leading to delays and incomplete work, which caused significant damage to the project. Besides, he was charged with procuring some equipment without calling tenders. The High Court had granted conditional anticipatory bail to Mr. Sanjay in January 2025 by noting that, being an IPS officer who worked as the DG of AP State Disaster Response & Fire Services, and Additional DG of CID, the question of his fleeing was remote, there was absolutely no flight risk as he got a fixed abode, and his health condition required continuous monitoring for recovery. On July 31, a Division Bench of the apex court, comprising Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and S.V.N. Bhatti, set aside the bail order in response to a SLP filed by the State (for cancelling the bail), and ordered that Mr. Sanjay surrender within three weeks, while faulting the grounds on which the anticipatory bail had been sanctioned at the given stage of the proceedings.

Hit-and-run case: Jagan's quash petition posted for hearing on June 27
Justice Y. Lakshmana Rao of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh posted the quash petition filed by YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the case of death of an elderly man, Ch. Singaiah, during the former's recent visit to Rentapalla village in Palnadu district, to June 27. Singaiah had allegedly been crushed under the vehicle in which Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was going in a rally, for which he was named as A2 under Section 105, read with 49, of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha (BNS), 2023. During the hearing of the petition on Thursday, Justice Lakshmana Rao agreed to take it up among fresh matters on Friday (June 27) as Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy's lawyers pressed for urgent orders for interim protection amidst insistence by the counsels for the State that the matter be put off to July 1. The Judge observed that perhaps no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner (Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy). In his plea, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy submitted that he was innocent and the narration of the facts of the case indicated that the satisfaction of the Station House Officer concerned to register a cognisable offence was not entirely objective. He alleged that the sequence of events leading to the registration of the FIR and further alterations thereof showed that the charges were tailored to implicate him with political vendetta and political malice. The former Chief Minister contended that the primary motivation for the State to implicate him in the case was to deter him from engaging with people of the State to espouse the cause of greater public good, whereas his right to move and participate in meetings and his right to speech and expression were consecrated fundamental rights under the Constitution. He said the FIR filed against him was intended to stifle political dissent against the ruling parties, and it amounted to an abuse of the process of law. The actions of the State in attempting to arrest him despite the absence of a prima facie evidence and non-fulfilment of the statutory requirements were wholly arbitrary, illegal, and violative of his fundamental rights, he argued. 'Arrest is an extraordinary measure that must be resorted to in exceptional circumstances such as when there is a risk of absconding, tampering with the evidence, and influencing of witnesses,' Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy submitted, pointing out that he did not fall in any one of those categories.
