Stay on pardon for Ravi murder accused

The AP High Court granted interim stay on the pardon granted by the Anantapur district session court to Rammohan Reddy, accused in the murder of TD legislator Paritala Ravindra. Justice Swaroop Reddy temporarily suspended the process of recording the statement of Rammohan Reddy under Section 164 CrPC, while dealing with a petition filed by V. Rekha-maiah, another accused.
The petitioner submitted that the district sessions judge had granted pardon to Rammohan Reddy on February 11 on an application by the CBI on the condition that he reveals the murder conspiracy. The petitioner informed the court that the CBI, the investigation agency, did not record the statement of Rammohan Reddy and granted him pardon.
