Gali opposes framing charges in OMC case

Hyderabad: Principal special judge B R Madhusudhan Rao of CBI courts on Monday resumed the charges framing session in the same Obulapuram Mining Company case. Gali Janardhan Reddy, the prime accused in the case, urged the court not to frame charges against him.

His counsel Gummakonda Srinivas Reddy told the court that Janardhan Reddy resigned to the post of director in

OMC

and that he has got nothing to do with the day to day affairs of the company.

Though the CBI commenced its probe on OMC and another mining company, Bellary iron ore private limited company (BIOP), later the probe proceeded against OMC alone, he said. BIOP too was one of the accused, but the charge sheets speak only about OMC, he said describing the probe agency’s actions as unlawful and biased and not based on facts and files.

The CBI says OMC crossed the border and mined in Karnataka and the border was not defined till today, he said. The judge posted the case to December 15. tnn
