Hyderabad, Aug. 16: A division bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court comprising Chief Justice Nisar Ahmad Kakru and Justice Vilas V. Afzulpurkar will hear a writ appeal filed by the state government and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) challenging the order of a single judge which stalled the probe into the alleged illegal mining by Obulapuram Mining Company and others at Anantapur on September 21.
Mr P. Kesava Rao, the special standing counsel for the CBI, told the bench that an additional solicitor general will appear on behalf of the CBI to argue the case and urged the court to adjourn the case to September 21.
The single judge had granted a stay on the probe on June 14, 2010. The CBI contended that the single judge’s order was “erroneous in law and contrary to the facts of the case”.
The state government argued that the CBI had found prima facie evidence against OMC which has allegedly resorted to illegal mining.
