Hearing on Jagan's plea adjourned to Jan4

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing on the bail petition of Kadapa MP and YSR Congress president Jagan Mohan Reddy to Janauary 4.

 The High Court told Jagan's counsel that as the Supreme Court had given three months time to the CBI to complete its investigation, it would be appropriate for him to apply for bail after that time.

It may be recalled here that earlier the Special CBI court had rejected two separate petitions seeking bail. While the first petition was filed as a statutory right under Section 167 (2) Cr PC, the second regular petition was filed under Section 437 of the CrPC.

After this, Jagan moved the High Court seeking bail on November 30.

On Monday, the court dismissed the statutory bail plea and it adjourned hearing on the regular petition to December 26.

YS Jagan  was arrested by the CBI on May 27, 2012 and is currently under judicial remand in Chanchalguda Jail in Hyderabad.
