ED Seeks Speedy Trial in Jagan Quid Pro Quo Case
The Enforcement Directorate has asked the Telangana High Court to help move a case forward faster.
The case involves allegations that companies and individuals received government favours and then invested in businesses linked to Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and his family.
The ED filed nine complaints under a law about money laundering.
A special court has accepted the complaints, but discharge petitions by the accused are still waiting to be decided.
The ED says this has kept the case from moving to the next stage.
It says the proceedings have been pending for nearly 10 years.
The agency wants day-to-day hearings and the accused to appear in person.
The articles do not report a ruling on the ED's request.
