New Delhi, Sep 30 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday pulled up Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for making controversial public statements about the suspected use of adulterated ghee in preparation of Tirupati Temple Ladoos even as an investigation was going on into the alleged lapses.
A Bench comprising Justice B R Gavai and Justice K V Viswanathan, after hearing lengthy arguments on the batch of petitions seeking independent or court-monitored investigation into allegations of adulteration in Ladoos during the tenure of the previous Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party regime, posted the matter to be heard on October 3.
Justice Gavai asked the Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta to assist the Court on who should conduct this investigation. “We don’t go only on newspaper reports. We have asked them to take a stand on their officer’s statement whether adulterated ghee was used or not,” the court said.
