By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad, Aug. 11: The state government has urged the AP High Court to vacate the stay ordered on Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the alleged irregularities in mining by a few companies including Obulapuram Mining Corporation.

The government filed a writ appeal against the orders of the single judge who stayed CBI probe on a petition by the OMC.

The government made the OMC, Centre and director of CBI as respondents. Maintaining that the single judge’s order was “erroneous in law and contrary to the facts of the case”, the state government said in the plea that CBI had found prima facie evidence against OMC which has allegedly resorted to illegal mining.
