Will CBI Issue Notice To CM Jagan Or Wait Till High Court's Decision?

The CM of AP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was supposed to appear in the CBI special court on Friday but failed to show up. Jagan’s presence is required for the hearing in the disproportionate assets case. But the special court has already advised Jagan to attend the court in Enforcement directorate case stating that it would serve notices in case of absenteeism.

As the CM, Jagan was absent from the court; it is to be seen whether the CBI court issues notices or will it wait for High Court's decision on the petition filed by Jagan seeking exemption from personal attendance.

YS Jagan Mohan has approached the High Court seeking exemption from personal attendance in CBI cases. The High Court adjourned the hearing till February 6, directing the CBI to file a counter case.

The CBI court, in last November, dismissed the exemption petition filed by the CM. The court stated that the reasons specified by the latter cannot be deemed for the exemption.
