In a key ruling, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court in Vijayawada has granted six-day interim bail to P.V. Mithun Reddy, the YSR Congress Party MP from Rajampet. The decision, given on Saturday, allows him to take part in the Vice-Presidential elections on September 9.
Mithun Reddy is currently facing investigation in a liquor scam case, which has drawn wide media and public attention. The court granted bail specifically to enable him to exercise his voting right in the crucial national election, balancing legal proceedings with political responsibilities.
Reddy’s legal team argued that his participation was essential for both his political career and the representation of his constituency. Acknowledging the importance of his vote, the court quickly approved the request.
The ruling comes at a time of intense political activity, with parties preparing for the elections. While the interim bail gives Reddy temporary relief, the ongoing investigation continues, keeping him in the spotlight.
The YSR Congress Party, led by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, has backed Mithun Reddy, stressing due process and fairness in the legal battle. As the elections draw near, attention will remain on both Reddy’s vote and the outcome of the corruption probe that could influence his political future.
