**Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Awaits Ruling in Caste Abuse Case**
**Hyderabad, India – June 20, 2025** – Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya of the Telangana High Court has reserved her decision on a criminal petition filed by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy seeking to dismiss a case registered against him under the Prevention of Atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act. The case stems from a 2019 complaint alleging that Reddy, then a Member of Parliament, and others abused the complainant, N. Peddi Raju, based on his caste.
During court proceedings, the Public Prosecutor Palle Nagesshwara Rao argued that none of the eight witnesses called by the investigating officer testified to Reddy’s presence during the alleged abuse. The case is currently pending trial before the Special Sessions Judge for Trial of Cases under the POA against SCs and STs Act-cum-VII Additional District Sessions Judge of Ranga Reddy at L.B. Nagar.
Reddy’s petition seeks to quash the proceedings. The outcome of the petition remains uncertain pending Justice Bhattacharya’s ruling.
