The AP High Court asked if there is a car accident, how will the case be filed against the people including former Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy in the car, if there is a car accident? The High Court questioned during the hearing of the quash petition filed by Jagan in the Singaiah death case.
Police registered a case against Jaganmohan Reddy after Singaiah fell under his car during his Rentapalla tour. Jagan was named as A-2 in this case. Along with the car driver, Jagan and key party leaders were included in the case.
With Jagan being included as A-2 in the Singaiah death case, party leaders along with him filed a quash petition in the High Court. During the hearing of this petition, Jagan’s lawyers explained to the court that this was a case registered with political vendetta.
After the accident, they said that this accident happened due to a car, but later they explained to the court that it was Jagan’s car. They said that Jagan is not providing security for his tours. Two more petitions are pending on these issues.
The government’s lawyers presented their arguments on this said that the police imposed prior restrictions due to the prevailing conditions there during Jagan’s visit. It was informed to that court that Jagan was allowed only three cars and a hundred people for the Rentapalla visit.
He explained to the court that the visit was in violation of the police rules. He argued that the police did not inform the ambulance at the time of the accident. Meanwhile, the court made key comments during the arguments.
It questioned how cases would be filed against those in the car if a car accident occurred. It commented on how the passengers would be held responsible for the accident? It seems that the court commented that despite taking all precautions, there was a stampede at the Kumbh Mela.
When the government lawyer sought time to present their arguments in this regard, the court adjourned the case to July 1 and ordered the police not to take any coercive action against the accused until then.
