HC reserves order on Anjaneyulu's bail plea
Vijayawada: The high court on Friday reserved orders in the bail petition filed by former APPSC secretary and DG rank officer PSR Anjaneyulu, who was arrested in connection with alleged irregularities in Group I evaluation and is under judicial remand.
The court said it will pronounce orders on Monday.
Arguing on behalf of the police, assistant public prosecutor Sai Rohit said Anjaneyulu is not cooperating with the police, and expressing anger at investigating officers during his questioning in police custody and repeatedly saying that he is responsible for everything. Anjaneyulu has been charged with illegally paying money to a private company and getting the answer sheets evaluated by ineligible persons.
Arguing on behalf of the IPS officer, S Nagesh Reddy said the evaluation was not done at a private place as is being alleged. Only verification of answer sheets was done there. "He has been in jail for the last 30 days and has completed two days of police custody. As the petitioner is suffering from ill health, bail may be granted with conditions," he urged the court.
PVG Umesh Chandra, who appeared for Madhusudhan, another accused in the case, said the petitioner acted according to the terms of the agreement and sought bail with conditions. Considering the arguments, the high court reserved orders for Monday.

PURI: A day after three people were killed and 50 others injured in a stampede near Shree Gundicha temple in Puri, thousands of devotees on Tuesday made a beeline to have a darshan of the sibling deities, Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Lord Jagannath. In view of Sunday's incident, barricades have been erected in front of the Shree Gundicha temple and different queues made for the smooth darshan of the deities at 'Adapa Mandap' (the podium on which the deities are seated) situated inside the temple, a senior police officer said. "We are alert. By the grace of the Lord, everything is running smoothly. Devotees are entering the Shree Gundicha Temple without any hassle," said Soumendra Priyadarshi, an ADG-rank IPS officer who has been assigned the responsibility of overseeing the police arrangement during Rath Yatra. He was assigned the task by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi after the stampede. Devotees believe that they can wash away their sins if they have darshan of Lord Jagannath atop the 'Adapa Mandap'.
