Prabhakar Rao, former legal officer in the State Election Commission, had been appointed as Family Court Judge at Srikakulam only yesterday. He was handed the suspension order as soon as he assumed the charge today.
An inquiry into the allegation that he attempted to influence the special judge for CBI cases, Pattabhirama Rao, is underway.
On May 31, High Court had suspended Pattabhi amid allegations that he granted bail to Reddy for bribe.
State Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered a case against Pattabhi and seven others.
Janardhan Reddy and his brother-in-law B V Srinivas Reddy are in jail in connection with illegal mining cases.
