Court Orders Chennamaneni Ramesh to Pay Rs 25 Lakhs to Aadi Srinivas
In a related development, Chennamaneni Ramesh has been ordered to pay Rs 25 lakhs to Aadi Srinivas as part of a legal dispute concerning his eligibility to serve as an MLA. The case arose from the claim that Ramesh, who holds German citizenship, provided false information on his affidavit while contesting elections. The Hyderabad High Court ruled in December 2024 that Ramesh’s election as MLA was invalid. As a result, Ramesh is required to pay ₹25 lakhs to Aadi Srinivas, in addition to Rs 5 lakhs to the Legal Cell.
Ramesh has already complied with the court order, paying the ₹25 lakhs in the form of a Demand Draft to Srinivas’ legal representatives. The ruling follows a five-year-long investigation initiated by Aadi Srinivas’ petition and was delivered by Justice Vijay Sain Reddy.
