Several petitioners had challenged the acquittal, including Karuna Sagar, stating that were the complainants in police stations against Owaisi for his hate speeches. The court heard Karuna Sagar’s petition on Friday and adjourned the hearing to December 30.
On April 13, the special court had acquitted MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi in two hate speech cases delivered by him at Nizamabad on December 8, 2012, and Nirmal on December 22, 2012.
Besides, the Telangana High Court adjourned to November 11, a petition filed by SHO Mangalhat, against the rejection order in the remand dairy against Goshamahal MLA T. Raja Singh.
