HYDERABAD: Justice G Radha Rani of the Telangana High Court has extended the interim bail granted to N Bhujanga Rao, one of the accused in the phone-tapping case till December 4. The order comes after counsel for Bhujanga Rao highlighted procedural developments in a related case pending before SC.
Bhujanga Rao had earlier been granted interim bail by the High Court.
During the hearing on Thursday, Bhujanga Rao’s counsel drew attention to a petition filed by A-4 in the case, Mekala Tirupatanna, pending before the SC. In that petition, Tirupatanna has challenged the High Court’s order denying his bail. The Supreme Court has adjourned the matter by two weeks, directing the state government to file its counter affidavit.
