If any investigation was to be made by the State, it may be under the strict supervision of a High Court Judge or in the alternative under the supervision of a retired Judge of the High Court, looking at the political vendetta against the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Counsel, Mukul Rohatgi and Shyam Divan for the petitioners strenuously urged that if there is any political vendetta, it may be against parties or persons of the respective parties, but taking action on account of those reasons against a former Advocate General of the State and a Senior Advocate is unheard of and not warranted, that too in a planned way as reflected in the present case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Media Trial<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, it has been urged that after the filing of the present petition and recusal from the case by the Judge of this Court, registration of offence immediately projected over the social media and newspapers against the petitioner and also two daughters of a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court of India amounting to scandalizing the authority with a mala fide intention by way of media trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above facts, the petitioner prayed for no coercive steps to be taken on the basis of registration of FIR including investigation after the filing of the petition and its publication in the print, electronic and social media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Counsel, C.V. Mohan Reddy on behalf of respondent 3 submitted that as the news already was in the electronic media, therefore, the said relief is infructuous, even otherwise, media cannot be restrained to publish news.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Decision<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bench in view of the above granted interim relief and directed that no coercive step shall be taken in furtherance to FIR\u00a0 which was registered after filing of the present petition against any of the accused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court also stayed the investigation. Further, it was directed that the news regarding the registration of FIR or in the context of the said FIR shall not be made public in any electronic, print or social media to foist the office of a former Advocate General and also with respect to the other alleged accused persons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No social media posts shall be published and in this regard, the Director-General of Police, A.P. and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India shall take steps to inform the relevant social media platforms\/houses in the present regard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Matter to be listed after 4 weeks.
