His personal appearance would disrupt administration in A.P., High Court was told
It would be difficult for Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy to appear for the trial at the CBI special court in Hyderabad as he was occupied with administrative functions, his counsel S. Niranjan Reddy told Telangana High Court on Friday.
Presenting contentions before Justice Ujjal Bhuyan of the HC in a petition seeking exemption from personal appearance for Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy at CBI special court, his lawyer said lot of security related protocols were also required to be followed to facilitate the CM’s appearance before the court. While adherence to security and other protocols make his appearance a complex task, his absence in A.P. would affect implementation and supervision of developmental activities undertaken there, the counsel argued.
Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy, who had appeared before CBI court while being Leader of the Opposition of AP in connection with the cases registered by CBI against him, secured the special court nod for exemption from personal appearances some times. He was given exemption from court appearance after assuming charge as Chief Minister.
