HYDERABAD: A division bench of the Hyderabad High Court compromising Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganthan and Justice Uma Devi on Tuesday asked the petitioner, who filed PIL seeking CBI probe into Miyapur land scam, to file an additional affidavit with documents before the court and also asked the Telangana government to give a comprehensive reply for adjudication of the case.
The bench of Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice J Uma Devi was dealing with PIL filed by M Raghunandan Rao, an advocate and BJP leader. The petitioner submitted that though the Supreme Court had restrained the registrations of all transactions pertaining to lands in survey numbers 20, 28, 100 and 101 in October 2014, about 700 acres of land have been sold off through illegal registrations by some private companies and also availed huge bank loans based upon those sale deeds. The CBI must take over the case to bring out facts, he added.
Intervening, the AG said that if the documents which are said to be in possession of the petitioner are given then the government will go through them and file a detailed counter affidavit within three weeks.
Later the bench said that it would issue notices to respondents only after seeing the additional affidavit to be filed by the petitioner.
