A city civil court on Monday returned papers filed by
CBI seeking to attach hundreds of properties of three companies
belonging to Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy and those of his former
aide N. Sunil Reddy and Trimex group chairman Koneru Prasad, after
raising certain objections.
The court asked the
investigating agency to meet the objections within a week before going
ahead. The court also returned the caveat filed on behalf of Mr.
Jaganmohan Reddy on Saturday, pointing out deficiencies in the petition.
He was also given the same period to comply with the instructions.
Sources
said the CBI listed out properties equal to the tainted amount in the
three charge-sheets filed in the case against Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy so
far.
But the court raised an objection that the list
did not contain particulars of scheduled properties that were sought to
be attached in relation to his companies – Jagati Publications, Indira
Television and Janani Infrastructure.
As the
properties were spread out in different districts of the State, the
court asked the CBI to explain whether it had jurisdiction over such
places since it was supposed to be for litigation in the city.
The court also took objection to the CBI referring to the properties as ‘benami' instead of attributing them to the respondents.
The
court asked the CBI to clarify whether there were third party claims on
the properties that were named. The discrepancies in the identity of
vakalatnama holder and the petitioner and the failure of CBI to pay the
process fee were also pointed out by the court.
In
the case of caveat seeking notice to Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy before
initiating attachment proceedings, the court asked him to clarify on
what basis he sought the relief in a vacation court; whether he wanted
it to be before the designated chief judge as ‘persona designate' or
chief judge court.
He failed to enclose the government order permitting attachment of his properties.
The court asked Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy to specify how a caveat was maintainable without referring to the grounds for relief.
It also sought from him identity of properties against which relief was sought.
