[YS Vivekananda Reddy murder case]

#SupremeCourtofIndia hears plea by Vivekananda Reddy's daughter challenging the #Telangana High Court order granting restraining the CBI from arresting Kadapa MP, YS Avinash Reddy.

Sr Adv Siddharth Luthra appears on behalf of Reddy's daughter.

Luthra: This is the questionnaire that the accused has been given in advance, on the High Court's direction. This is not how an investigation is to be done. CBI is supporting us. Its an absurdity, never seen… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

SG Mehta appears for CBI.

SG: This questionnaire has been prepared on the order of the High Court.

SC: Who asked to prepare this?

SG: CBI.

Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi: This is not entirely true...

CJI: Is this the standard of investigation, We might as well WIND UP THE CBI!

#SupremeCourtofIndia

Rohatgi: I have been appearing from Jab 28, they are asking me repetitive questions, when HC was told, they said if CBI is asking repetitive questions, then you provide us a transcript of the questions that have been asked..

#SupremeCourtofIndia

SC: So in cases where CBI and ED both are involved.. we might as well ask them to give us the same chargesheet, no need to make separate ones..

CJI: These are directions of the HC, questions and answers may be provided in questionnaire form..

#SupremeCourtofIndia

Luthra: This is lawlessness, I am sorry to say...

SC: When once CBI has filed an affidavit in the HC, how can they ask..

Rohatgi: Your lordship may remove the questionnaire part, let the HC decide.. case is listed before it tomorrow..
#SupremeCourtofIndia

Rohatgi: If your lordship is setting aside the whole order, then I will withdraw..

SC: What will you withdraw?

#SupremeCourtofIndia #SupremeCourt

SC: It is not that simple Mr Rohatgi. please see para 15 and 16 of the order..

CJI: we will pass a short order.
