CBI interferes in judicial process of Jagan case

Notwithstanding the lack of quid-pro-quo nature in the CBI case against the YSR Congress party president Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Government also didn’t suffer any loss because of the land allotments. When there is no loss, there is no question of the investments getting the nature of quid-pro-quo.

All the decisions permitting the land allotments were taken by the cabinet collectively but the late YSR alone was surprisingly made responsible for the decisions while charging his son Jagan with resorting to misuse of power.

How far is the charge against Jagan justified when he was no way connected with official machinery?

The farce of charge sheets

The CBI, which filed the first charge sheet against Jagan on March 31 after launching the investigation in August 2011, has been continuously filing charge sheets with the sole aim of keeping him in jail.

After the first charge sheet, the CBI has filed second charge sheet in April, third charge sheet in May and the fourth one in August and informed more charge sheets would be filed. When the CBI filed the second charge sheet, the court said hearing would go on the two combined charge sheets together. But CBI objected to it and sought treating each charge sheet as different case. This is clear interference by CBI into the judicial process.

What is surprising is that the CBI charge sheet and the remand report contain the same charges as mentioned in the FIR which is an offshoot of the allegations made in the petitions filed by Sankara Rao and TDP leaders against Jagan. The petitions are made up of the allegations written by Eenadu and another Telugu daily when YSR was alive.
