Discharge me from Jagathi case: Vijaya Sai

Hyderabad:

YSRCP MP V Vijaya Sai Reddy

has urged the CBI special court to discharge him from the

Jagathi Publications investments case

.

His

counsel Uma Maheshwara Rao

said the CBI initially had filed a case against Vijaya Sai in the case under section 9 of the Prevention of

Corruption Act

, but later realised that this section is not applicable to him. Hence, it filed a supplementary chargesheet bringing in section 31-D of the Act to justify its action, he said. Principal special judge BR Madhusudhan Rao would hear the case on Friday.

The counsel said CBI chargesheet in the case spoke about three

individual investors

and there was no public servant or public assets involved in the case. “Leave alone sufficient material, there is no material at all that attracts provisions of

PCA

in this case because there are no public assets misused by any public servants in this case. It is a case pertaining to three investors,” the counsel argued. TNN
