Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy wrote a letter to Chief Justice of India Justice S.A. Bobde complaining against a senior Supreme Court Judge and some AP High Court Judges on October 6th.

The AP Principal Advisory to the Government Ajay Kallam disclosed the facts to the media on Saturday late evening, and also said the document evidence also submitted to the CJI S.A. Bobde in an affidavit on October 8th. Jagan has urged the CJI to consider initiating such steps as may considered fit and proper, to ensure that State Judiciary’s neutrality is maintained. In the annexure to the letter, Jagan expressed “Pain and anguish” that the “August institution of the High Court is being used to destabilize and topple the democratically elected Government”.

He submitted an annexure pointing out instances of how matters important to an opposition party had been allocated to select Judges in the High Court. Jagan referred to the investigation launched by the State Government against former CM N. Chandra Babu Naidu in building of Amaravathi. Referring to the harsh observations of the High Court on a PIL seeking probe into the depth of former Registrar General allegedly due to Covid- 19, Jagan said the Advocate General brought to the notice of the High Court that it is unfairly hostile to the State Government.

Then the Standing Council of the High Court offered to file an amended paragraph in his petition, Jagan also referred to the orders of the High Court on issues ranging from fire mishap at a Covid- 19 care centre to arrest of Chandra Babu Naidu in Vishakhapatnam and Covid- 19 guidelines violation by YSRCP MLAs.
