The CBI urged the CBI Court not to allow former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy, who is A1 in several cases of disproportionate assets cases, to travel abroad. Both Jaganmohan Reddy and Rajya Sabha MP Vijaya Sai Reddy, who is A 2 in all those cases, have filed separate petitions in the CBI court seeking permission to travel abroad.
Jagan asked the court to allow him to go to the UK for 20 days next month. The CBI, who has sought time to file counter on Tuesday, filed its reply on Wednesday. After the arguments on Jagan’s petition, the decision was postponed to 27th of this month.
Vijayasai Reddy requested permission to go to the UK, Sweden and US in the months of September and October. While the CBI filed a counter motion not to grant permission to Vijaya Sai Reddy, the court after hearing the arguments of both sides postponed the verdict to the 30th of this month.
After a humiliating defeat in the elections, Jagan made it a habit to travel abroad. Until recently, they have been going to Bangalore Palace consecutively. Recently, many suspicions are being raised in YCP ranks and political observers regarding the filing of petitions by Jagan and Vijay Sai Reddy, who are A1 and A2 in the illegal assets case, to go abroad once again.
Meanwhile, the Telangana High Court has adjourned the hearing on the PIL filed by former MP Harirama Jogaiah for speedy investigation of Jagan’s illegal assets cases for three weeks. As per the orders of the Supreme Court, the hearing on the Sumoto petition, which was taken up on the criminal cases against public representatives across the state, was also postponed to the same day.
However, the bench said that Harirama Jogaiah’s PIL will be closed as they are conducting the inquiry sumoto as per the orders of the Supreme Court. If necessary, Sumoto indicated that they can cooperate in the investigation of the petition.
Advocate Polishetty Radhakrishna on behalf of Harirama Jogaiah said that he saw in the press that the Supreme Court had recently given some orders regarding the case of Jagan’s illegal assets. The High Court adjourned the hearing on the petitions to September 17.
