Telangana High Court on Monday passed an interim direction to keep in abeyance the trial of Additional District Judge S. Radhakrishnamurthy by the ACB special court.
A bench of Justices M.S. Ramachandra Rao and T. Amarnath Goud passed the direction after hearing a writ petition filed by Radhakrishnamurthy. Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials arrested the petitioner in April of 2018 on charge of receiving ₹ 7 lakh bribe to grant bail to an accused facing charges under NDPS Act.
The petitioner was then serving as Nampally Criminal Court Additional District Judge. ACB officials subsequently filed charge-sheet in the case. The petitioner’s counsel contended that ACB registered case against the judge following a complaint lodged by a lawyer. The ACB authorities did not seize any cash from the judge, the lawyer argued.
