Hyderabad,Feb. 28: The AP High Court on Monday ruled that the investigation into the case against the former chief minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, and 14 other persons in connection with a land deal may go on. Justice Raja Elango, while dealing with the petition filed by Mr Rosaiah and others seeking revision of an order passed by the principal senior civil judge for the SPE and ACB cases, directed the ACB to conduct the investigation and file a final report in the case.
The judge directed that the alleged accused should not be arrested till the completion of the investigation. The special court for Anti-Corruption Bureau cases on December 27, 2010, had directed the ACB director-general to register a case against Mr Rosaiah and 14 others in connection with a land deal.
Mr Mohanlal, an advocate, had filed a complaint before the ACB court stating that the government had violated rules in withdrawing 9.14 acres located near Mythrivanam at Ameerpet from the 'land acquisition' process. The complainant brought to the notice of the court that the government had earlier acquired the land and paid the compensation and the land was under the possession of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.
But Mr Rosaiah, in the capacity of the CM, allowed the deletion of the land from the acquisition proceedings and passed orders by handing it to the owners. Mr Rao contended that the government has no power to withdraw from the land acquisition proceedings.
