HYDERABAD: The high court, however, made it clear that the advocate could only watch the proceedings as they were directed to sit in the library room opposite the examination chamber.
The high court bench headed by justice K Lakshman permitted Rama Rao's lawyer to watch the proceedings through a glass room and that they would not be present in the same room when ACB officials would question the former minister in connection with the probe into alleged financial irregularities in the conduct of a Formula E race in Hyderabad in February 2024.
"If you still have any doubts over the arrangements, you can come back to the high court on January 10 and I will grant you protection. I will keep the writ petition pending," the bench told KTR - as the BRS leader is popularly known.
The high court asked KTR to appear before the investigating officer at 10.30am on Thursday. His counsel informed the court that former additional advocate general J Ramachander Rao would be present in the library room during the questioning.
