Hyderabad, Aug 7: The CBI submitted two preliminary reports to the AP High Court on alleged deviations to the Outer Ring Road to benefit a few persons. Advocate-General Moh-an Reddy gave an action taken report on a preliminary report submitted earlier by the CBI.
The CBI has reportedly recommended action against Huda officials for violation of rules in acquiring land for ORR and other projects. A division bench comprising Chief Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy opened the sealed covers. After glancing through the reports, Justice Singhvi told petitioners’ counsel S. Ramchandra Rao that his apprehension on the independent functioning of the CBI was not correct.
The Chief Justice indicated that names of the officers on whom the petitioners had made allegations were in the report. Mr Rao said that his apprehension was only about politicians, not the CBI. TD leaders N. Janardhan Reddy and Kadiam Srihari had filed the writ alleging that the alignment of ORR had been changed at the behest of ruling party members. The government subsequently ordered a judicial inquiry and a CBI probe. The case was posted to September 6.
