BRS Sanathnagar MLA and former minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav on Monday filed a petition before the Telangana High Court seeking quashing of the case (FIR No 19) registered against him at the Begumpet police station for alleged derogatory remarks against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
The case has been booked under Sections 352, 351(2), 353(3), and 353(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) following a complaint lodged by V Chiranjeevi, a businessman from Begumpet here.
In the complaint, the petitioner alleged that Srinivas Yadav made derogatory and offensive remarks against the chief minister during a public meeting at Le Palace Function Hall, Balmrai, on January 11, 2026.
The MLA contended that the proceedings were unsustainable in law. The petition is listed for hearing before a single judge on Tuesday.
