A Division Bench of the High Court (HC) consisting of Justices U. Durga Prasad Rao and Kiranmayee Mandava on Monday heard arguments in the public interest litigation(PIL) filed by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju for a court-monitored CBI inquiry into the State government’s alleged corrupt activities and illegal decisions and posted it for further hearing on February 15.
After the hearing began, the counsel for Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy sought a few days’ time to present the arguments on why his (CM’s) name should be struck off from the array of total 40 respondents, and on the maintainability of the petition.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ramakrishna Raju stated in his reply to the preliminary counter affidavit submitted by the Chief Minister that every pleading made by him pointed out the misuse and abuse of power by the latter and the conflict of interest concept in public offices has been repeatedly breached at the behest of the respondent.
