Justice B Vijaysen Reddy of the Telangana High Court on Tuesday directed YS Sharmila not to proceed with her padayatra and public meeting in Mahabubabad until further orders of the High Court.
Sharmila was directed by the judge to file an affidavit undertaking she would not make derogatory remarks or give provocative speeches. Sharmila filed the case challenging the rejection of permission for the padayatra and public meeting within the limits of Mahabubabad Police Station, Mahabubabad District as being illegal. The Government Pleader for Home informed the court that Sharmila was not following court orders. He said she was making derogatory and vulgar remarks during her public meetings.
While watching a clipping of the meeting, the judge wondered how the petitioner could make such comments. Sharmila’s Counsel responded that she was responding to derogatory remarks made about her in the same way. The judge asked would the petitioner accept such comments against her by male politicians. The judge warned the petitioner against violation of the court orders. Directing the petitioner to file an affidavit the judge adjourned the case to March 3.
