Ravi Prakash case: Hearing adjourned to next Tuesday

Hyderabad: Telangana High Court on Tuesday heard arguments by senior counsel Diljeet Singh Ahulwalia appearing for TV9 former CEO Ravi Prakash. It may be recalled that when Ravi Prakash approached the Supreme Court for anticipatory bail, the court had directed him to approach the High Court for requisite relief.

The court on Tuesday asked the counsel for the petitioner as to why an anticipatory bail was indispensable for them.The counsel, however, objected to the police submitting to the court screenshots of his communication made on social media.

Senior counsel Haren Raval appearing for the Telangana police informed the court that Ravi Prakash was evading investigation and any grant of anticipatory bail at this stage may prejudice the trial. The court posted the matter to next Tuesday for further hearing.
