CBI says the mining baron is at the centre of ‘one of the most notorious mining scams’ of the country and his return to Ballari will spell disaster for the trial.
Former Karnataka Minister and mining scam accused Gali Janardhana Reddy made a strong pitch in the Supreme Court to relax his bail condition and allow him to stay in his native Ballari district. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said that the mining baron was at the centre of “one of the most notorious mining scams” of the country and his return to Ballari would spell disaster for the trial. A Bench led by Justice Ashok Bhushan heard senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi counter the CBI for Reddy, saying the blame for the agency’s inefficiency to complete a trial within time could not be put on him.More Related News
