Senior Advocate Dushyant Dave mentioned a petition opposing the Telangana High Court's order transferring the investigation into a case involving the alleged attempts to poach 4 MLAs from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (formerly Telangana Rashtra Samithi) to the Central Bureau of Investigation before the three-judge Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice PS Narasimha, and Justice JB Pardiwala (CBI).

Dave submitted: 

"I am mentioning on behalf of State of Telangana. There was an FIR regarding destabilising the government. The Writ Petition was filed and the Single judge, after recording that request to transfer to CBI had been conceded by their own lawyers, transferred it to CBI. We went to a Division Bench. Division Bench said that the LPA was not maintainable, although the bench was asked to grant protection and requested for CBI to not enter. There is a grave urgency. If CBI enters the investigation, everything will fail."

CJI DY Chandrachud asked Senior Advocate Dave to mention the matter again tomorrow. He said–

"We will list the matter. Mention it tomorrow morning. You don't have to come, ask a junior to mention and we will list it accordingly. Even without mentioning, it will come up next week."

Pilot Rohith Reddy, a Tandur Assembly MLA, filed a first information report on October 26. He claimed that three accused individuals had met with him and urged him not to run for office as a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party candidate. Instead, he was allegedly offered "amount of Rs 100 crores aside from contract works of the Central government" and asked to leave the BRS and join the BJP. 

On November 15, the Telangana High Court declared that a single court judge would oversee the investigation's progress and permitted the Special Investigation Team established by the state government to continue its inquiry into the MLA poaching matter. On November 21, however, the Supreme Court overturned the Telangana High Court's decisions and ordered it to reevaluate the three accused persons' request for the CBI to conduct an investigation.
