Partial relief to Uttam in poll code case
Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Wednesday granted partial relief to Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy in three cases related to alleged poll code violations during the 2019 Huzurnagar byelection campaign. Justice K Lakshman quashed one case filed in Nereducharla and issued interim orders exempting Uttam from personal appearance in the remaining two.
The court adjourned the matter to August 18 and directed the respondents in the pending petitions to file their counter-affidavits. The cases, registered in Narayanpet and Mattampalli, pertain to a roadshow and public gathering held without permission and in violation of the Model Code of Conduct, in support of Uttam’s wife, Padmavathi, who contested the byelection.
