The ED Court has issued summons to Jaganmohan Reddy the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The issue is pertaining to the land allotments given to Hetero drugs and Arabindo pharma. The case was transferred from Nampally court to ED court in the recent times.
Now the ED court has issues summons directing Jaganmohan Reddy to appear on 11nth for further investigation. Along with Jagan the court has summoned, BP Acharya, Vijay Sai Reddy and the owners of the drug companies also.
It may be noted that Jagan has not been appearing in person to the CBI and ED courts. He was sending his representatives. We have to see if he appears before the ED in person on 11nth.
The cases have been going on for a long time. As the Chief Minister of State he was allowed to send his representatives. But in some cases he was asked to appear in person.
During YSRajasekhar Reddys regime, a huge amount of investments came into Jagan’s companies and some shell companies under ‘quid pro quo’.
The High Court received several petitions in connection with these cases and it asked the CBI special court to take up hearing of the same.
In addition to these cases, the PMLA cases filed by the ED added to Jagan’s woes. However, Jagan’s advocates filed discharge petitions and obtained stay in connection with four cases.
Following Supreme Court directives that probe into cases filed against elected representatives should be expedited, cases against Jagan came into the light again. Now the ED cases filed against Jagan will come for hearing on 11nth.
