Hyderabad, Oct. 20: In a major blow to the Emaar Hills Township, the AP High Court on Wednesday dismissed its plea to stall the probe by the Anti-Corruption Bureau on allotment of land to it by the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation.
Justice N.V. Ramana dismissed the writ petition filed by the company challenging the order of a lower court which directed the ACB to probe land allotments made by the APIIC to 16 companies and individuals including Emaar.
The lower court had passed the order on a complaint filed by Mr Sri Ranga Rao, a practicing advocate of the city, alleging that APIIC officials committed large-scale irregularities in connivance with private parties in land allotments.
Emaar approached the High Court contending that complaint of Mr Ranga Rao was part of a conspiracy by business, political and bureaucratic circles and had been filed at the instance of some senior officials of the APIIC.
However, Justice Ramana pointed out in his 15-page verdict that the complainant was an advocate.
