The hearing on the bail petition of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, in relation to the Disproportionate Assets case, has been adjourned to September 18.
The CBI special court posted the matter for hearing, to next week, after the CBI requested for more time to file its counter affidavit on Jagan's bail petition. Asking the CBI to file its counter plea before September 18, the court adjourned the matter.
Jagan had applied for bail after the four-month deadline set by the Supreme Court for the CBI to complete its investigation came to an end on September 9. A day later, the CBI had filed three chargesheets in connection with the case.
The Kadapa MP, who was arrested by the CBI on May 27, 2012, informed the court that he has been in judicial remand for over 15 months, and that he did not interfere or influence the CBI's investigation. (INN)
