HYDERABAD: Director general of police (DGP) Dinesh Reddy on Friday filed an appeal in the AP high court urging it to suspend the recent ruling of a single judge who ordered a probe against him besides directing the registry of the court to launch a criminal contempt case against the state police chief and chief of the CID wing S V Ramanamurthy.
It may be recalled that the single judge had heard three petitions filed by senior IPS officer Umesh Kumar against Dinesh Reddy and ordered a probe against both of them apart from launching a criminal case against the two officers on charges of suppression of information.
"Umesh is an accused in a forgery case and is also facing allegations of corruption, whereas there are no such allegations of corruption against me", Dinesh Reddy said in his petition.
"In his anxiety to get out of the cases, Umesh may have tried to project it as a case of rivalry between him and me, but the single judge should not have allowed this design", the DGP pleaded.
"By treating it as a spat between two of us, the single judge had failed to see the real picture," he contended.
"I have expressed my readiness for a probe regarding the alleged property transactions of my wife and the state issued a memo in this regard and, hence, there is no need for ordering a probe," he said.
Denying the charge that the CID chief was acting at his behest, Dinesh Reddy, in his appeal, said that he (CID chief) was corresponding with the state and was routing the copies to the state through the DGP office.
Dinesh Reddy further said he had no control over the CID chief whatsoever.
Reddy also contended that there was no suppression of any material or distortion of facts before the court. He sought the suspension of the order of single judge saying that the order was contrary to the material available on record.
