Ruling of Jagan ‘s Bail petition posted to July 4

Arguments on the bail petition of YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy concluded in the High Court on Thursday. The court reserved its orders for July 4.

While Jagan was represented by Supreme Court senior lawyer and former Union minister Ram Jethmalani, the CBI was represented by another eminent jurist and Supreme Court former judge Ashok Bhan.

Ram Jethmalani argued that arresting a person, who was summoned by a court, amounted to contempt of court. Ashok Bhan has argued that as the economic offences committed by Jagan were of serious nature and as the investigation was still continuing, he should not be given bail. (NSS)
