The Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (AP-CID) filed two more petitions before the High Court, praying to reopen the hearing in the quash petition related to the Amaravati Assigned lands case and take the new evidence into consideration, according to government sources.
Earlier, the High Court reserved orders on it after concluding hearings.
This case was registered by the A.P. CID in 2021, based on the report by Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, Mangalagiri MLA of YSRCP, alleging involvement of Telugu Desam Party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and former Minister P. Narayana in the case. The High Court granted a stay on the investigation and recently completed the hearing on the quash petition filed by the accused, informed the CID sources.
The sources further added that while the criminal petition was reserved for orders, the CID officers received new evidence in the form of a voluntary audiovisual statement sent by Ponguru Krishnapriya, sister-in-law of Mr. Ponguru Narayana. She gave specific details on the manner in which Mr. Narayana allegedly indulged in the illegal purchase of the assigned lands, the sources added.
