CBI Challenges Acquittals in OMC Case Amid Srilakshmi's Plea
The CBI is going to fight the recent decision that let former mining officials off the hook in the Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) case.
This came up during a court hearing about Y. Srilakshmi, who is also accused in the case.
She wants the court to dismiss the charges against her.
The Supreme Court has told the High Court to make a decision about Srilakshmi's case quickly.
Srilakshmi's lawyer argues that she shouldn't be held responsible for things that happened before she was in charge.
The court case has been postponed until July 10.
CBI plans to appeal the acquittal of Sabitha Indira Reddy and B. Kripanandam in the OMC case.
The announcement was made during arguments in Y. Srilakshmi's discharge petition.
Srilakshmi is the sixth accused in the OMC illegal mining case.
The Supreme Court sent Srilakshmi's discharge petition back to the High Court.
The High Court is holding regular hearings, as ordered by the Supreme Court.
