Hyderabad, Jan 5 : Justice Raja Elango of the AP High Court on Wednesday made it clear that the court cannot dictate terms to any investigation agency as to how and where it should probe a case. The judge was hearing a plea by Mr V. Vijay Sai Reddy, vice-chairman of Jagati Publications and an accused in the assets case of Kadapa MP Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Mr Vijay Sai Reddy approached the High Court after the special court refused his plea to restrict the CBI to confine its probe pertaining to business transactions from 2004 to 2009 and not to look into transactions prior to 2004.
Mr Sushil Kumar, senior counsel from Su-preme Court appearing on behalf of Vijay Sai Reddy said the CBI which was acting on the directions of the HC had jumped the gun and was conducting a probe beyond the scope of the direction given by the court. Mr P. Kesava Rao, CBI counsel, urged the court to adjourn the case to Friday to submit a counter affidavit. The arguments will continue on Thursday
