A local court in Sangareddy on Tuesday dismissed the bail petition of MIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi in connection with a 2005 case against him for allegedly obstructing the then Collector and other officials from discharging their duties.
Asaduddin, who was on Monday sent to judicial remand till February 2 in the case by the Judicial First Class Magistrate and Prohibition and Excise Special Court in Sangareddy town, had filed a bail application.
After hearing the arguments and counter-arguments from the defence and prosecution, the court in Sangareddy town of Medak district dismissed Asaduddin's bail plea, a senior police officer said.
Asaduddin had yesterday filed a 'recall petition' in the court seeking cancellation of a non-bailable warrant. However, the court had dismissed his petition and remanded him in judicial custody till February 2.
The case was registered on a complaint by a revenue official that Asaduddin, his younger brother and party MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi and others protested demolition of a place of worship at Muttangi village near Patancheru during a road widening work of Hyderabad-Mumbai National Highway.
They had allegedly engaged in heated arguments with the then District Collector AK Singhal and other officers and while demonstrating the Owaisi brothers had allegedly pushed the Collector.
