The Supreme Court today issued notices to six Andhra Pradesh ministers and eight IAS officers on a plea alleging that the CBI was not proceeding against them despite having sufficient evidence that they helped former Congress leader, Mr Y. Jagan Mohan Reddy, accumulate massive illegal assets.
A bench headed by Mr Justice Dalveer Bhandari issued the notices to the ministers and the IAS officers and sought their stands on the petition filed by an advocate, Mr Sudhakar Reddy.
The petitioner alleged that these six ministers and eight IAS officers held ministerial and other key positions under the then Chief Minister, Mr Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, during whose tenure his son, Mr Jagan Mohan, accumulated huge wealth, disproportionate to his legal income.
Mr Reddy, in his petition, said even though the CBI had registered a number of cases against several others in the disproportionate assets case against Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, it had failed to register any case against these 14 persons.
