Andhra Pradesh High Court Directs Government on Spurious Liquor Case
A former leader named Jogi Ramesh asked the big court to let a different agency, the CBI, look into a case about fake liquor.
He thinks the people already investigating are not being fair.
The court told the government they need to give all the details about the case and why they think the current investigation is okay.
The court will decide what to do next after hearing from the government on November 26.
Jogi Ramesh also said he was arrested only after he asked the court for a new investigation.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ordered the state government to submit a counter-affidavit regarding a spurious liquor case.
The petition, filed by former minister Jogi Ramesh, requests a CBI investigation into the case.
Ramesh alleges that the current state-level probe is biased.
The court instructed the public prosecutor to provide a comprehensive affidavit addressing all issues raised by the petitioner.
The hearing has been adjourned to November 26.
