HC cancels Acharya’s bail in Emaar case

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday cancelled the bail given to suspended IAS officer BP Acharya in the APIIC-Emaar township scam case.

Disposing a petition filed by CBI, the High Court objected to CBI special court granting bail to Acharya when the case was progressing actively. While cancelling the bail, the High Court directed Acharya to surrender before the court immediately.

Earlier on March 16, the CBI Special Court granted bail to Acharya taking cognizance of charge-sheet and the CBI failing to secure sanction from the Government of India to prosecute Acharya.

The court also cancelled the bail petition of Koneru Rajendra Prasad, accused number six in the case. The court observed that it was not possible to give bail to him when the case was progressing actively.
