HYDERABAD: The PD Act Review Board on Wednesday rejected the appeal of suspended BJP MLA T Raja Singh to reconsider the decision to keep him in custody. Singh had already appeared before the Review Board on September 29 through video conference. In the meeting, the members also noted the representation by Singh’s wife demanding the revocation of the PD Act.
“The government, after careful examination of the representation, has observed that there are no valid grounds and reasons made out therein to set aside/revoke the detention orders. Hence, the same is hereby rejected,” the order read.
Singh’s advocate, K Karuna Sagar, said, “The rejection order is not final and it will be challenged before the High Court. This order won’t affect the pending writ petition.”
