The Supreme Court slammed Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao over his remarks alleging a ‘deal’ between the BJP and the judiciary regarding the bail granted to his daughter, K. Kavitha, in the Delhi liquor scam case. The court strongly objected to Rao’s insinuation that the bail was part of a political deal, emphasizing that such statements undermine public confidence in the judicial system.

The court stressed that the judiciary operates independently and must not be dragged into political narratives. It underscored the importance of maintaining the dignity and integrity of the court, urging political leaders to exercise restraint in their public statements about judicial decisions. The remarks followed CM Rao’s controversial comments, where he suggested that the BJP influenced Kavitha’s bail to gain political leverage in Telangana.

Kavitha, a leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the daughter of CM Rao, was granted bail in connection with her alleged involvement in the Delhi liquor policy scam, which has been under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The case has been highly politicized, with opposition parties accusing the ruling BJP of misusing central agencies to target political rivals.
The Supreme Court’s criticism highlights the ongoing tensions between the judiciary and political leaders, especially when high-profile cases involving politicians are at play. The court’s firm stance serves as a reminder of the separation of powers and the necessity of maintaining respect for judicial processes.
The controversy around CM Rao’s statement reflects broader concerns about the politicization of legal proceedings in India, particularly in the run-up to state and national elections. It underscores the critical need for a clear boundary between politics and the judiciary to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice.
