AP HC judge says he is trolled for granting bails!

In a surprising development, an Andhra Pradesh high court judge openly commented in the court itself, stating that he is being trolled on social media for granting bails to the accused in various cases filed by the TDP-led coalition government against YSR Congress party leaders and others.

Previously, during the YSRCP government, the issue of trolling judges' verdicts caused a major uproar, prompting the high court to take serious note and order a CBI inquiry, leading to several arrests.

Now, under the current coalition government, similar incidents are being repeated. Senior high court judge K Srinivas Reddy said he is facing trolling on social media over recent verdicts.

Reddy gave rulings favouring the YSRCP leaders in several cases – such as the cases related to the death of a person during Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's Rentapalla tour, another case involving the brothers of YSRCP leader Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy and the Kakinada Port shares case involving YSRCP MP YV Subba Reddy’s son Vikrant Reddy.

Even with regard to the controversial comments made by journalist K V Krishnam Raju on Amaravati women, the same judge delivered the judgement, granting bail to him.

This triggered trolling by sympathizers and supporters of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on social media. 

Responding to this, Justice Srinivas Reddy made notable remarks during a bail hearing on Thursday in the adulterated ghee case related to Tirumala laddu preparation.

He granted bail to the accused in the fake ghee supply case including Pomil Jain (A3) and Vipin Jain (A4), directors of Bole Baba Dairy, and Vaishnavi Dairy CEO Apoorva Vinaykant Chawda (A5).

"People have been trolling me on social media for the past two days. This is the sorry state of affairs in AP," he commented after granting bail to the accused in the ghee adulteration case.

He further remarked that these bail orders would also likely be fodder for trolls.

Interestingly, Justice Reddy postponed bail hearings involving former YSRCP MLAs Kakani Govardhan Reddy and Thopudurthi Prakash Reddy to next Tuesday.

He suggested that all bail petitions before him be transferred to another bench next week.
