Narayana: నారాయణ కుమార్తెల ముందస్తు బెయిల్ పిటిషన్

The tenth class question paper which caused a sensation in the AP has undergone a key evolution in the leakage affair. AP Former Minister P. Narayana’s daughters Pongur Sarani, Pongur Sindoora and son-in-law Puneet along with 10 others from Narayana educational institutions have filed a preliminary bail petition in the high court. They got a seat in the High Court. High Court Judge Justice K Manmatharavu held an urgent hearing on the petition seeking anticipatory bail. Interim injunctions were issued against the petitioners not to take any hasty action till the 18th of this month. A full hearing on the matter was adjourned to May 18. With this, Narayana’s family members and the staff of the educational institutions got relief.

Chittoor One Town police have registered a case against Narayana Educational Institutions following a complaint by Chittoor DEO in connection with the leakage of Class X question papers. It is learned that Narayana, who was in Hyderabad on the 10th of this month, was arrested by the Chittoor police and produced in court. Narayana’s lawyer argued that he had no connection with the company. The court granted bail to Narayana after his lawyer showed evidence to the court that he had resigned in 2014 as chairman of Narayana Educational Institutions.

Jaliparthi Kondalarao, Malempati Kishore, Rapoor Koteshwarao, VPNR Prasad, V Srinath, Rapoor Sambashivarao, Y Vinaykumar, G Sureshkumar, B Munishankar, A. Munishankar and others from educational institutions along with Narayana’s family members who thought that the police might arrest them in this case. Petitions were filed. The court noted that they had no connection with the malpractice and did not name themselves as defendants in the case registered by the police. The lower court had already granted bail to several accused in the case, so their counsel requested that the petitioners be granted anticipatory bail in view of these factors.

Responding to this, the court questioned what would be the loss if the petitioners were given interim orders protecting them when they were not the actual accused. Justice Manmatharao directed that no hasty action be taken against the petitioners till the 18th (Wednesday) of this month. It remains to be seen what turns this case will take after May 18th.
