Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court clarified its directions to the CBI court that cases lodged by the Enforcement Department against IAS officers and other public servants other than those of senior IAS officers Adityanath Das Gupta and BP Acharya in YS Jagan’s disproportionate assets case, continue.
The High Court made this clarification on the doubt expressed by the judge for CBI cases on the directions of High Court in the pleas of senior IAS officers Adityanath Das Gupta and B.P. Acharya in Y.S. Jagan’s disproportionate assets case whether he should return the complaint to the complainant (ED). While partly allowing the pleas of the civil servants, Justice B.
Sivashankara Rao issued a direction to the CBI court on January 21, 2019, “to return the complaint to the complainant, if at all, to submit with necessary sanction orders from the competent authority”.
Expressing doubt about the phrase, ‘to return the complaint to the complainant,’ Mr B.R. Madhusudhan Rao, principal special judge for CBI cases had written a letter to the Registrar Judicial of the High Court to clarify the orders.
After perusing of the letter, Justice Sivashankara Rao said that the court order applies only to the petitioner IAS officers.
