New Delhi, May 25 -- The Supreme Court on Friday found no fault in the Andhra Pradesh government's action to arrest former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy's IT adviser in the Rs.3,200-crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam in April this year. A bench headed by justice JB Pardiwala dismissed a plea filed by the father of Kessireddy Raja Shekhar Reddy, who is currently in jail, alleging that his son's arrest was vitiated as no proper grounds were furnished by Crime Investigation Department. The petitioner referenced the Supreme Court's February ruling in Vihaan Kumar v State of Haryana, which held that arrest grounds must be meaningful enough to enable the accused to seek bail and approach the high court against illegal detention. "Having looked into the grounds of arrest which were supplied to the son of the appellant at the time of his arrest, it is difficult for us to take the view that the grounds do not make any sense or are not meaningful or are an eyewash," the bench, also comprising justice R Mahadevan, said while dismissing the petition as it found Vihaan Kumar judgment's requirements were complied with. The court clarified that the accused retains the option of seeking regular bail from the competent court, directing that any pending application be taken up at the earliest. Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani, representing Reddy, had challenged the Andhra Pradesh high court's dismissal of his petition on May 8. He questioned the CID's arrest on April 21, 2025, in connection with a first information report filed in September 2024 for offences of cheating, criminal breach of trust and criminal conspiracy punishable under sections 420, 409 read with section 120-B of IPC. Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, defending the state, produced records demonstrating arrest grounds were supplied to Reddy when he was arrested and served on his father as well. Subsequently, he was brought to Vijayawada and produced before jurisdictional magistrate for remand in 24 hours of arrest....
