Suggesting that he should have ‘thicker skin’, The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea filed by Telangana BJP leader Kasam Venkateshwarlu issuing defamation charges against Revanth Reddy.
Mr Venkateshwarlu had challenged a High Court decision that quashed a criminal defamation case against Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
The case stemmed from a speech made by Mr Reddy during the 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign, in which he alleged that the BJP would remove reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes if it secured 400 seats in Parliament.
On Monday, a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice B R Gavai, and comprising Justices K Vinod Chandran and Atul S Chandurkar, declined to admit the petition.
Senior advocate Ranjith Kumar, appearing for the BJP leader, urged the court to consider the matter. However, Chief Justice Gavai stated, “We have repeated on many occasions, courts cannot be converted into political battlegrounds.”
