YS Jagan’s disproportionate assets case has reached the Supreme Court after the Telangana high court ordered the Enforcement Directorate to halt the investigation till the CBI finishes the case. The ED approached the Supreme Court about the same and challenged the call.
Today, the Supreme Court held a hearing and passed notices to Vijayasai Reddy, and Jagan’s companies Jagathi Publications and Bharathi Cements, asking them to file the counter appeal.
Those involved will have to revert back to the Apex Court by September 5.
The Apex court will verify the facts submitted by the ED and the Jagan’s lawyers and then decide whether to permit both CBI and ED investigations in Jagan’s simultaneously or hold the ED investigation till the CBI investigation is done. The Supreme Court will pass the order on 5 September.
Previously the CBI court stated that CBI and ED can investigate the case simultaneously. But the same was cancelled by the Telangana high court which put the ED investigation on hold. The supreme will take the final call on whether to permit simultaneous investigations on Jagan’s case on 5 September. This will be a significant development.
