BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha has turned to the Supreme Court seeking bail in the ongoing liquor policy cases involving the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). After her bail petitions were rejected by the High Court on July 1, Kavitha has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking relief.
Supreme Court Hearing Scheduled
The Supreme Court is set to hear Kavitha’s bail plea on August 12, with the case to be reviewed by a bench comprising Justices Vishwanath and B.R. Gavai. This move follows the denial of bail by both the trial court and the High Court, which have kept Kavitha in Tihar Jail for approximately five months.
Background of the Case
Kavitha, a member of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), was arrested by ED officials on March 15 in connection with the Delhi liquor policy and money laundering case. The CBI has also been investigating the case and arrested her on April 11. Despite her appeals, the courts have extended her judicial custody, denying her bail on multiple occasions.
Legal Battle Continues
Kavitha’s legal team argues that the charges against her are politically motivated and seeks relief from the Supreme Court. Her case highlights the ongoing legal battles involving high-profile politicians and the scrutiny of liquor policy implementations.
Implications for BRS
This development is significant for the BRS party as Kavitha is a key figure. Her legal challenges may impact the party's strategies and political stance. The outcome of her Supreme Court plea will be closely watched by political observers and party supporters.
