Hyderabad, Jan 22, 2013: Expressing its ire over the CBI for the inordinate delay in probing the YSRCP Chief Sri Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy’s case, the High Court of AP said on Tuesday it would deliver its orders on his regular bail plea on Jan 24. 

The arguments over the hearing on Jagan Mohan Reddy’s bail petition, which began in the morning, were extended to post-lunch session in the High Court.  

Putting forth his arguments on behalf of CBI, Additional Solicitor General Ashok Bhanu said the probe in the case has been moving at a snail’s pace due to lack of proper response from the state Government.  

“How long will you take to finish the probe? How many years will you take to complete the investigation?” Justice Seshasayana Reddy asked angrily when the CBI counsel said it would try to complete the probe as soon as possible.  

The Court expressed displeasure over the reply of Ashok Bhanu that CBI has been facing difficulties in completing the probe.  

Niranjan Reddy, counsel for Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy, objected to the reply and pointed out that CBI can’t prolong the remand of his client any more on the pretext that Government has not been cooperating. 

The High Court then said it would deliver its orders on the bail plea on Thursday, Jan 24.
