SC defers Hearing of DA Case Against Jagan to April

Vijayawada: The Supreme Court held its hearing on a petition filed by YSR Congress rebel MP Raghu Rama Krishna Raju to cancel the bail granted to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the disproportionate assets case in Delhi on Friday. 

The court deferred the case for its next hearing to April. A two-judge bench comprising Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Dipankar Datta heard the matter and asked the reasons for delay in taking up hearing of the case.

Solicitor general Tushar Mehta representing CBI replied



that they were not responsible for the delay. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s counsel Niranjan Reddy told the court that the petitioner filed the petition with a political motive and was even involved in anti-party activities in the last three years. 

The court sought the reason for the delay in taking up hearing in the case even as the Telangana high court issued an order to expedite the cases pertaining to high profile personalities and issued directions to take up the next hearing in April.
