Ballari: In a big relief to Gangavathi MLA G. Janardhana Reddy, who also served as a Minister in the Yediyurappa-led BJP Government, the Supreme Court (SC) on Monday granted permission for the MLA to enter Ballari without any prior permission of the authorities.
Reddy had been banned from entering Ballari in accordance with a Court order after he was granted bail in an illegal mining case. Reddy was arrested by the CBI on Sept. 5, 2011 in connection with illegal mining, following which he was lodged in Cherlapalli Jail in Andhra Pradesh.
