TS HC issues notice to CBI, CM Jagan on ex-MP’s PIL

The Telangana High Court on Wednesday ordered issuance of notice to the CBI and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on a petition filed by a former minister seeking directions to expedite the trial of cases against the CM.
Former MP Ch Harirama Jogaiah had earlier filed a petition in the High Court seeking directions to the CBI and special CBI court in Hyderabad to expedite and conclude the trial of the cases pending against Reddy before the next Assembly polls in Andhra Pradesh.
However, the registry had raised certain objections over treating the petition as public interest litigation (PIL), following which the petitioner amended the prayers in the plea.
