Telangana High Court Dismisses Cases Against Revanth Reddy & KTR
The Telangana High Court has dismissed a case against Chief Minister Revanth Reddy related to unauthorized drone usage in 2020. The case was initially filed when Revanth Reddy, then an MP from Malkajgiri, used a drone to capture aerial visuals of a farmhouse in Janwada, near Hyderabad. The property was reportedly linked to KTR, who was a state minister at the time.
Revanth Reddy had alleged that the farmhouse was constructed illegally and hired a drone to gather video evidence. Following this, the Cyberabad Police registered a case against him on March 4, 2020, charging him under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including unauthorized drone operation and criminal conspiracy. He was subsequently arrested and spent 20 days in jail before securing bail.
Seeking relief, Revanth Reddy appealed to the High Court, arguing that Janwada was not a restricted area for drone usage and that the charges against him were unfounded. His lawyer, S Niranjan Reddy, asserted that the accusations did not align with the legal provisions cited in the case. After reviewing the arguments, the High Court dismissed the case.
In a separate ruling, the High Court also quashed a case against KTR over alleged derogatory remarks made about Revanth Reddy. The case was based on a complaint filed by Rajya Sabha MP Mandadi Anil Kumar Yadav in August 2023, leading to an FIR registered by the Saifabad Police in Hyderabad.
During the hearing, the Public Prosecutor stated that KTR, as a senior leader, had used inappropriate language against the Chief Minister. However, KTR’s lawyer, TV Ramanarao, contended that the case was politically driven. After evaluating both sides, the High Court ruled in favor of KTR, dismissing the FIR and bringing the matter to a close.
