HC nod for CBI notice to Vijay Sai

HYDERABAD: The High Court on Friday granted permission to the CBI to serve a personal notice on Vijay Sai Reddy, accused number two in the alleged illegal assets case of YSR Congress president YS Jaganmohan Reddy. While granting the permission, justice N.Ravi Shankar, vacation judge, adjourned the hearing to next week of a CBI plea for cancellation of bail granted by a special CBI court to Vijay Sai Reddy. When the judge asked the CBI for reasons for seeking cancellation of the bail, the CBI’s counsel said the lower court had not stuck to the parameters laid down by the Supreme Court and there was every possibility of tampering of evidence by the accused if he was on bail.On April 20 the High Court had set aside the bail granted to Vijay Sai by the special CBI court and directed the lower court to restore the bail petition of Vijay Sai and take an appropriate decision on it after hearing both the parties.The special judge for CBI cases had granted bail again to Vijay Sai on April 30 by directing him not to leave the city without the court’s permission.
