Tamil Nadu: The CBI has filed a response stating that it is not necessary to provide certain documents sought by DMK MP A. Raja in the disproportionate assets case.
In 2015, the CBI filed a disproportionate assets case against DMK MP A. Raja and his wife. The case is being heard in a special court in Chennai that handles cases against MPs and MLAs. The CBI filed a charge sheet in the case. A. Raja filed a petition in the special court seeking an order for the CBI to provide certain documents not included in the charge sheet. The special court dismissed the petition and issued an order.
A. Raja challenged this order in the Madras High Court. The High Court, which heard the case, had ordered the CBI to provide a response. When the case came up for hearing before Justice A.D. Jagadeeshachandra on Thursday, Special Criminal Advocate K. Srinivasan, representing the CBI, filed a response.
It stated that there was no need to provide the documents requested by the petitioner. Following this, the judge adjourned the hearing until April 27th.
In this case, Krishnamurthy, a friend of accused A. Raza, had filed a petition seeking the dismissal of the case against him. This petition also came up for hearing before Judge A. T. Jagadeeshchandra. The judge hearing the case ordered the CBI to respond to Krishnamurthy’s petition and adjourned the hearing until April 27th.
