HC to hear Jagan bail plea today afternoon

The hearing of the arguments on the regular bail petition filed by Kadapa MP and YSR Congress Party president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will be taken up by the AP High Court today at 2.15 pm.

Jagan filed the petition after the CBI Special Court rejected his bail plea.

Earlier, in the petition Jagan's counsel had raised several points for consideration by the court. The counsel said that the CBI has to complete the investigation in all the seven related cases in 90 days and submit its investigation  report as assured by it to the Supreme Court.

This process should end by January 04, 2013 accordingly, the counsel said. The CBI lawyers argued that the Supreme Court did not specify any date in its order.

The High Court Judge pointedly asked the CBI counsel that - if a date was not stated in the SC court order  does that mean the agency can prolong the investigation for an indefinite period.

The court also directed the CBI to file a status report on the case today.
