HC postponed Tulasi Babu's bail petition
TPN Correspondent
Amaravati, Jan 18: The High Court today heard the bail petition of Kamepalli Tulasi Babu, who was arrested in connection with the third-degree assault case involving AP Deputy Speaker Raghurama Krishnam Raju.
The bench allowed an impleaded petition filed by Raghurama Krishnam Raju, seeking to include himself as a defendant in the case. Advocate VV Lakshminarayana argued on behalf of the impleaded petition.
Tulasi Babu’s lawyer contended that there was no connection between his client and the assault case, stating that the prosecution failed to provide any evidence to support the claims.
On the other hand, Advocate Posani Venkateshwarlu, representing the government, informed the court that Tulasi Babu did not cooperate during his police custody and that a custody petition filed by the police was still pending in the Sessions Court.
The court was also informed that the custody petition would be heard tomorrow. Given these developments, the government’s advocate requested that the case be adjourned until Monday.
Following the request, the High Court adjourned the hearing of Tulasi Babu’s bail petition to next Monday.
