Senior IAS officer B P Acharya got a reprieve from the State High Court in connection with the allotment of land to Hetero Drugs and Aurobindo Pharma companies at a lesser rate as a quid pro quo for their investments in the group companies of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
The High Court agreed with the contention of Acharya’s counsel that the officer had not got any personal benefit from the land allotment to these two drug companies, as alleged by the CBI and hence, it was a fabricated case.
The court had not only stalled the investigation, but also given exemption to him from attending the trial. The court also granted relief to Hetero group official Sarathchandra Reddy.
Already, several officials like Sam Bob and Ratna Prabha got the reprieve in the Jagan case either from the courts or from the Centre.
One after the other has been coming out of the case without allegations against them being proved. With all of them getting the reprieve, will Jagan, too, get out of the case?
