The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday struck down the orders of State Election Commissioner (SEC) Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar s orders barring Panchayat Raj Minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy from speaking to the media till February 21, as unconstitutional.
It may be recalled that the single bench of the AP High Court on Sunday struck down the orders of SEC to Director General of Police Gautam Sawang to confine Panchayat Raj Minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy to his residence till the end of AP Panchayat Elections ( February 21).
The Panchayat Raj Minister had earlier filed a house motion petition challenging the SEC orders in the High Court, which came up for hearing before Justice DVSS Somayajulu.
