Sabita signs property attachment order
Home secretary Ajoyendra Pal is learnt to have gone to home minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy’s house at around 9.45 pm on Wednesday and got signatures on the two files regarding the Government Orders to attach properties of Kadapa MP Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, as well as that of industrialist Koneru Prasad and the YSR Congress chief’s aide T. Sunil Reddy. He later went to Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and got the approval. The draft GO and files were then sent to the legal department.
“The GOs are yet to be issued,” Mr Pal said. “We have received certain proposals from CBI regarding attachment (of properties).” The CBI had earlier written to the government, seeking authorisation to file an application in the special CBI court for attachment of properties of those accused in Jagan assets case and Emaar township scam. The CBI also mentioned that properties of Jagan firms and that of Emaar accused persons are derived from crime proceeds.
Once the GO is issued, the CBI will file an application in the principal special judge’s court at Nampally, seeking attachment of properties of the accused in the two cases. As per law, the court is to issue an interim attachment order, and, subsequently, make it absolute, if it deems fit, after hearing the parties concerned. The court may also order the state government to appoint a receiver for administration of the attached properties.
