Somireddy Welcomes ED Push for Daily Hearings in Jagan Cases
Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy supports a request for courts to hear Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s cases every day.
The cases are about allegations that Jagan acquired wealth improperly.
Somireddy said the CBI registered the cases in 2011.
He said the proceedings had not moved forward as expected after nearly 15 years.
He alleged that petitions and postponed hearings were causing delays.
Because many witnesses must be heard, he wants hearings to last from morning to evening.
He believes this could help the court reach a decision sooner.
He also said political leaders should respect the courts and that the law should apply equally to everyone.
TDP MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy welcomed the Enforcement Directorate’s petition seeking day-to-day hearings in cases against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Somireddy urged full-day hearings, from morning to evening, saying they could speed up proceedings and deliver an early verdict.
He said the CBI registered the cases in 2011 over allegations that Jagan amassed more than ₹43,000 crore in disproportionate assets.
Somireddy alleged discharge petitions and repeated adjournments had delayed the cases, and questioned why the trial had not progressed after nearly 15 years.
Citing cases involving P.V. Narasimha Rao and L.K. Advani, Somireddy argued that political leaders should respect court proceedings and that the law should apply equally.
