Bangalore: Former minister Janardhan Reddy who has been lodged in the Parappana Agrahara jail since March 3, has been taken out of the court to be produced before the Sandur Court for hearing on August 16, Thursday.

Earlier, a body warrant had been served against Reddy  for violating the border rules by changing the blue print of the borders between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Reddy was shifted to the Bangalore jail earlier this month from the Chanchalagada jail after a body warrant was served in connection with the OMC mining irregularities.
