Telangana CM Apologizes to Supreme Court for His Remark on Bail Granted to BRS Leader K Kavitha

New Delhi: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Friday tendered an apology to the Supreme Court for his statement on the bail granted to BRS leader K Kavitha in the Delhi excise policy scam case.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court expressed strong displeasure over the Telangana CM’s remark on the top court granting bail to BRS leader K Kavitha. The apex court said that the judiciary doesn’t interfere in the sphere of the legislature and the same respect applies for the legislature too.

In a post on X on Friday, CM Reddy said, “I have the highest regard and full faith in the Indian Judiciary. I understand that certain press reports dated 29th August, 2024 containing comments attributed to me have given the impression that I am questioning the judicial wisdom of the Hon’ble Court.”

He further stated that he was a firm believer in the Constitution and its ethos and hold the Judiciary in high esteem.

“I reiterate that I am a firm believer of the judicial process. I unconditionally express my regret for the statements reflected in the press reports. The remarks attributed to me in such reports have been taken out of context. I have unconditional respect & highest regard for the Judiciary & its independence. As a firm believer in the Constitution of India and its ethos, I have and continue to hold the Judiciary in its highest esteem,” he further said.

BRS leader K Kavitha was released from Tihar Jail on August 27 following the Supreme Court’s decision to grant her bail.
