Fifteen days have passed since Babu was arrested and kept in remand. However, instead of going for bail, the tdp says it is a quash petition. On the quash petition in the High Court, only senior lawyers argued for Babu. They say that Babu has nothing to do with this case and they argued the same as they argued in the acb court. Specially speaking on Section 17A.
They say that the manner in which Babu was arrested was also irregular. Babu's lawyers argue that Babu's name is not in the FIR and he was arrested without telling the case against him. However, as a counter to this, CID lawyer Ponnavolu Sudhakara reddy is making a bold argument. Babu is currently MLA. Therefore, it is said that only the Speaker was informed about his arrest
Moreover, it is said that this case happened in 2014-15, so section 17A was not there already, so it is not applicable. They say that CID's argument that there is no FIR against Babu is logical and legal. They are saying that there is solid evidence against him in the Babu case and that is why he was arrested. However, the arguments of Babu's lawyers on the quash petition did not stand up in the High Court. tdp is looking to go to the supreme Court.
