Hyderabad, July 5 : Justice B. Seshasayana Reddy of the AP High Court on Monday dismissed the plea of Katari Mohan, accused in a case of attempted murder of the Chittoor Congress legislator, Mr C.K. Babu, challenging his transfer from Chittoor sub jail to the central prison in Kadapa.
Ms Katari Anuradha, wife of Mohan, had approached the HC challenging orders passed by the district and sessions judge. The petitioner contended that the orders of the district judge were against the provisions of the Prisoners Act 1900.
The government told the court that the husband of the petitioner is facing a threat from the local MLA and for safety reasons the inmate was shifted.
The judge observed that the district judge has inherent power to order such transfer in the circumstances.
