Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Tuesday directed the CBI to file counter affidavit in a petition filed by Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy challenging the order of the Special CBI Court in dismissing his plea to grant exemption from personal appearance before it during the hearing of the cases registered against him.
The CBI has registered disproportionate assets cases against the AP CM. In his petition, Jagan told the court that the order passed by the CBI Court was contrary to the established principles of the criminal justice system. Later, the court has posted the matter to February 6, 2020, for further hearing.
