YSR Congress to move Supreme Court

February 17, 2012 09:57 am | Updated 09:57 am IST - HYDERABAD:

Unfazed by the AP High Court striking down the petition it filed against the disproportionate assets of TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, the YSR Congress Party has announced its resolve to approach the Supreme Court as “we are convinced with the merits of the case.”

The YSR Congress, in a press release, expressed concern that the court which accepted a two-page letter addressed by former Minister P. Shankar Rao as public interest litigation, had turned down the 2,000-odd page petition accompanied by documentary evidence. “We have full faith in the judicial system and we will take up the issue in the higher court,” party spokesman Jupudi Prabhakar Rao said.

Mr. Prabhakar Rao and other spokespersons of the party said, at separate press conferences, that the party moved the apex court seeking shifting of the case to another High Court raising doubts about the present bench. As the Supreme Court said it could not intervene as the verdict was due, the petition was withdrawn.
