The case in which a Vikram Investments Chairman Panyam Vikram Deva Reddy has been sued by Vinod Yaddula for alleged forgery and theft of cheques by renowned Businessman Vinod Yaddula comes up in the Magistrate court on Tuesday, 28 January 2019.

In a dramatic turn of events, Reddy, the Vikram sued Yaddula, the former Vikram Investments Director for allegedly, stealing USD 200,000 and the case is set for trial on the same day, 28th January in the same court.

Yaddula pleaded not guilty when the matter came up for mention denied.

Both cases are court 3 of the Magistrate Court presided by Chief Resident Magistrate Lameck Mwale
When summons were served to him last year, Reddy, posing as an influential property buyer reacted angrily, telling the plaintiff- Yaddula to go to ‘hell’ or serve the judicial documents into his ‘ass’ in a WhatsApp group intercepted by Tumfweko Media.
Reddy further resorted to sending obscenities in pictorial and word form, protesting that he would use court documents handed to him by the Zambian courts of law to wipe his (Reddy’) penis after enjoying his conjugal rights.
Reddy was scheduled to appear at the respected Magistrate court on 24th December 2019 but chose to urinate on the judiciary.
The court, therefore, set Tuesday, 28th January 2020 as a new date on which to here the case.
In this case, Yaddula is represented by Senior Counsel, Mulambo Haimbe.
