The Andhra Pradesh High Court, on Tuesday, cancelled the
bail given to suspended IAS officer B P Acharya in the APIIC - Emaar Township case.
Disposing a petition filed by CBI, the High Court objected to the CBI special court granting bail to Acharya when the case was progressing actively.
While cancelling the bail, the High Court directed Acharya to surrender before the court immediately.
Earlier, on 16 March, the CBI Special Court granted bail to Acharya, taking cognizance of the charge-sheet, and of the CBI failing to secure sanction from the Government of India to prosecute Acharya.
The court also cancelled the bail petition of Koneru Rajendra Prasad, the 6th accused in the case. The court observed that it was not possible to give bail to him when the case was progressing actively. (INN)
