Judge Hearing Kodi Kathi Case Transferred

Andhra Pradesh High Court issued orders appointing District Chief Judges for three districts. A few additional district judges (ADJ) were transferred to new places.

V Srinivasa Anjaneya Murthy who is currently the Vijayawada Metropolitan Sessions judge has been transferred to Kadapa. He is currently hearing the Kodi Kathi case of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Vijayawada Third ADJ Court Judge Satyanand came in his place.

Kodi Kathi case entered a crucial stage after NIA recently filed an affidavit in the court that there is no criminal conspiracy involved in the case.

The NIA also said that there is no need for a deeper investigation into the case as asked by the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister.

The court recently asked Jagan Mohan Reddy to come to the court and give his statement but the Chief Minister refused to attend citing ‘Traffic’ problems. He asked to appoint an advocate commissioner so that the evidence will be recorded in his presence.

Meanwhile, the accused Janupalli Srinivasa Rao aka Kodi Kathi Srinu is languishing in jail for more than four years without bail as the trial did not begin yet.
