Court Adjourns Hearing on ED's Plea in Jagan, OMC Cases


Hyderabad, Jun 7 (IANS): A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court Thursday adjourned hearing on a petition of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), seeking permission to question the accused in three high profile cases including a case relating to amassing of illegal wealth against jailed YSR Congress leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.

The special CBI court adjourned the hearing on the ED petition to June 14.

The court also adjourned the hearing on the petition of industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad, who is also in jail in the same case.

The ED sought permission to question the accused in two other cases - illegal mining by Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) and Emaar Properties case.

Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers B.P. Acharya and Y. Srilakshmi and industrialist Koneru Prasad have also filed objections to the ED's petition.

Meanwhile, the court also directed CBI to provide copies of second and third chargesheets of Jagan case to ED.

It also agreed to provide a copy of supplementary chargesheet in Emaar case to ED. The orders came after CBI conveyed to the court that it has no objection to the copies being given to ED.

It was not clear if the ED would file a separate petition to take custody of Jagan for questioning.

The central agency is likely to question Jagan for alleged violation of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

The ED has already taken copies of two chargesheets filed in the OMC case and one each in Emaar and Jagan cases.
