Justice Narasimha Reddy comments amount to contempt of court: BRS

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)  leader Manne Krishank strongly condemned Justice L Narasimha Reddy following his “inappropriate comments” about the Supreme Court’s decision to remove him as Chairman of the Commission of Inquiry probing power purchase agreements.
In a press meet at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, he questioned how Justice Narasimha Reddy, a former High Court judge, could criticise the court’s decisions, highlighting this as an act of contempt. Krishank called for action against Justice Narasimha Reddy under Article 142 of the Constitution for his comments against the Supreme Court’s judgment.
 Krishank welcomed the Supreme Court Chief Justice Chandrachud’s order to remove Narasimha Reddy and noted that former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao had responded to the Commission of Inquiry without mentioning any personal matters about Justice Narasimha Reddy. He criticised Justice Narasimha Reddy for openly questioning KCR’s decisions, which led to his removal by the Supreme Court. “Even after his removal, Justice Narasimha Reddy continued to make inappropriate comments about KCR, demonstrating contempt of court”, He said
Krishank condemned Justice Narasimha Reddy’s remarks about KCR and MLC Kavitha, pointing out the inconsistency in Justice Narasimha Reddy’s claims that a report was ready while alleging KCR had not responded. This, Krishank argued, shows “Justice Narasimha Reddy’s malicious intentions”.
Krishank emphasized that Narasimha Reddy prematurely labeled Kavitha as guilty while she is still under investigation, stressing that no one is guilty until proven so. He also mentioned Narasimha Reddy’s remarks about Justice Ghose, who is investigating Kaleshwaram, and demanded action on that as well.
Highlighting that Congress leaders have protested against Narasimha Reddy’s alleged land grabs, Krishank questioned why Congress appointed him as Chairman of the Inquiry Commission. He also revealed Narasimha Reddy’s RSS roots and questioned Asaduddin Owaisi’s silence on his appointment.
Krishank dismissed false news about KTR and Harish Rao visiting Delhi for consultations with BJP, stating they went to discuss court cases, not political alliances. He accused Narasimha Reddy of reading from Revanth Reddy’s script and demanded Revanth apologize for appointing Narasimha Reddy as Chairman.
Krishank refuted allegations of a BRS-BJP alliance, stating that if such an alliance existed, Kavitha would not be facing jail time. He asserted that KCR is not accountable to Owaisi and that the BRS-BJP alliance rumors are baseless. Krishank urged the media to avoid giving importance to unnecessary rumors and advised Owaisi not to seek explanations from BRS based on media reports.
