The Telangana High Court today granted a stay on the notices issued to BJP leader B L Santhosh by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to probe the sensational MLA poachgate case, till December 5, 2022.
It passed the orders while responding to a quash petition filed by Santhosh challenging the second notice issued to him by the SIT under Section 41A of the CrPC, on November 23, 2022.
In its orders, the High Court said that it was staying the notice as it did not meet the requirements prescribed under Section 41.
Santosh had moved a lunch motion petition urging the court to quash the notice.
In his petition, Santosh explained the reasons behind his non-appearance before the SIT in the case in response to the first notice. He urged the HC to issue orders to the SIT to allow him to appear before it at his convenient time.
He also said that he did not have any role in the case.
