In a significant ruling, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has ordered the police to refrain from taking any coercive action against YSR Congress party president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy until July 2, in the case related to the death of 70-year-old Cheeli Singaiah. The incident occurred when Singaiah was hit by Reddy’s car during his tour to Palnadu on June 18.
The High Court’s directive comes as a relief for Reddy, who was facing potential legal action in the hit-and-run case. The court’s decision to suspend any coercive measures against the former Chief Minister until the next hearing on July 2 suggests that the judges want to carefully examine the evidence and circumstances surrounding the tragic incident before taking any definitive action.
The case gained significant attention and sparked public outrage, with allegations that Reddy’s car was involved in the accident that led to Singaiah’s death. The incident occurred during Reddy’s tour of the Palnadu region, where he was expected to meet with party workers and constituents.
According to the initial reports, Singaiah, a 70-year-old man, was crossing the road when he was struck by Reddy’s car. The impact of the collision resulted in Singaiah’s death, leaving the community and the victim’s family in a state of grief and demand for justice.
The High Court’s decision to grant a temporary stay on any coercive action against Reddy until the next hearing suggests that the court wants to thoroughly investigate the matter and ensure a fair and impartial outcome. The case has raised questions about the potential implications of the incident and the accountability of public figures involved in such incidents.
As the case progresses, the public and the victim’s family will be closely watching the developments, hoping for a resolution that not only addresses the legal aspects but also provides a sense of justice and closure for all those affected by the tragic event.
