According to the FIR, Arjun was invited to YSRCP leader Shilpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy’s home on May 11 at Nandyala town without prior permission from the returning officer.
His arrival resulted in a large public gathering, leading to the alleged violation of the mode code of conduct, prompting Nandyala police to register a case, mentioning Arjun as A1 and Reddy as A2 as parties.
The FIR contended that though Reddy was aware of the potential for a large crowd, he failed to seek permission for Arjun’s visit, “leading to the disobedience of the rules laid down for the electoral process.” Consequently, Arjun and Reddy approached the high court to dismiss the case, arguing that Arjun’s visit was personal and without political motivation.
