Hyderabad,Feb. 20: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday directed the state government to provide all assistance to the CBI to probe the multi-crore Satyam fraud. Justice N.V. Ramana gave this direction while dealing with a petition filed by Mr K.G. Achuthan, representing the Stock Investors’ Hub of Thrissur, seeking a direction to hand over the Satyam investigation to the CBI.
Mr K. Ramesh, counsel for the home department, submitted a letter issued by the government that it will extend all possible help and amenities sought by the CBI. He told the court that the government had nominated the principal secretary (home) to coordinate with the CBI.
The court said that if the CBI required more facilities, they should also be provided by the government to enable the agency to complete the investigation quickly.
Mr T. Niranjan Reddy, special public prosecutor of the CBI, submitted that a deputy inspector general or a superintendent would coordinate with the home secretary to get all the facilities.
The court asked him to inform it by next week how much time the CBI needed to complete the probe.
