The andhra pradesh high court on wednesday allowed the andhra pradesh Crime Investigation Department to prosecute Kanumuru raghu Ramakrishna Raju in matters other than the sedition case, which was a major defeat for the renegade ysr congress party lawmaker from the narasapuram constituency. Raju filed a plea with the high court asking that all cases brought by the CID against him be dropped and that the CID be instructed to cease further action in this matter.

The high court held that other than the one under Section 124 A, the CID may question Raju under other sections (sedition). Only from 10 am to 5 pm can the CID examine Raju at the Dilkusha Guest house in hyderabad with his attorney present. It further stated that the CID should limit its questioning to the cases brought against the mp and not to any other matters.

Additionally, it stipulated that nothing should be done without Raju's attorneys present and that he should not be invited to the CID headquarters. The high court warned that "severe action" would be taken against the concerned police personnel if the CID police disobeyed any of the court's instructions. In view of the supreme Court's order suspending all proceedings in sedition cases, Raju filed a petition last week asking for a broad stay on the FIR lodged against him under Sections 124A (sedition), 153A, and 505 of the indian Penal Code. The high court heard the CID's arguments in response.
