ACB Court to hear Rosaiah's case on Sept 26

The Anti-Corruption Bureau Court, which gave clean chit to former chief minister K Rosaiah in the Maitrivanam land case, on Friday directed the authorities to give a copy of judgment to concerned respondents.

Dealing with a petition filed in this connection, the Special Court directed the authorities to handover a copy of verdict to concerned respondents immediately. The court later adjourned the next hearing in the case to September 26.

In its verdict, the court pointed out that former chief minister and officials during his tenure did not resort to any malpractices and did not show any favoritism to anybody.   

However, the ACB Court stated it has found violations of the Land Acquisition Act, which is a civil matter.

Earlier, the ACB booked a case against former Chief Minister K. Rosaiah and 14 others in connection with a land de-notification case following a directive from the AP High Court based on a petition filed by an advocate Sriranga Rao.

The case was booked under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act and under Sections 406 (Criminal Breach of Trust) and 409 (Criminal breach of trust by public servant, or by banker) of the IPC.
