Court permits Jagan to visit Idupulapaya

                                                                                 

The principal Special Court for CBI Cases here on Monday relaxed conditions of bail granted to Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy in the quid pro quo investments case and allowed him to visit Idupulapaya in Kadapa district to pay respects at his father’s memorial on October 1.

The court, however, turned down Mr. Jagan’s plea for visiting Guntur on October 4 for participating in a farmers’ rally there.

During the arguments on the relaxation petition earlier in the day, counsel for CBI K. Surender argued against giving any relaxation in the bail conditions stating that Mr. Jagan was a highly influential person and there was every possibility that he could threaten witnesses if allowed to leave Hyderabad as most of the witnesses were staying outside the city.

Besides, bail petitions of some of the accused in the case were still pending and any relaxation in Mr. Jagan’s bail conditions would hamper the process.

Highly technical case

Appearing for Mr. Jagan, senior counsel Susheel Kumar said the case against his client was a highly technical one based on documents and all documents and depositions of witnesses were already in the custody of the investigation agency.

There was no chance of his client tampering with any evidence or threatening any witness he was against foregoing the freedom granted by the court by resorting to any action that would attract the court’s attention, he explained.

In his orders later in the evening, the Judge ordered that Mr. Jagan should not visit any other place except Idupulapaya, should neither influence any witness nor address any public meeting and return to the city on Wednesday morning.
