Tribunal Sets Aside Rs 50 Lakh Attachment in Revanth Reddy Cash-for-Vote Case
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and three others received relief from the Appellate Tribunal under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, which set aside the Enforcement Directorate's Rs 50 lakh attachment in a 2015 cash-for-vote case. The tribunal ruled that since the alleged bribe amount was already seized by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and held by the trial court, the ED could not attach an equivalent sum. The case originated from allegations of a Rs 5 crore bribe offer ahead of the MLC election involving Revanth Reddy and others.
