Retired Judge of High Court to probe assets issue

YSR keen on inquiry as his image is at stake

The recent series of events in regard to properties held by Chief Minister Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy and TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu is reaching new level every day. It may be recalled that the TDP President accused the Chief Minister of earning Rs. 1 crore per hour through dubious means. Reacting sharply over his comments, the Chief Minister, Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy offered to probe on himself and also on Chandrababu Naidu and asked in Naidu is ready for it. With Chandrababu Naidu accepting the challenge, the Government decided to go ahead and put in an inquiry commission. The demand of TDP for inquiry commission by a sitting Judge of High Court but the State Government has decided to hand over the case to a retired Judge of the AP High Court.

Sources say that the Apex Court in a judgment on April 9, 2007 said that no High Court Judge should be spared for such inquires. The ruling also stated that all judicial inquiries will have to be conducted by the retired High Court judges only. In this context, the State Government is likely to announce the judicial inquiry commission on Monday. The Chief Minister wanted to write to Supreme Court requesting it to spare a High Court Judge into the probe.

The Chief Minster wanted the probe to be ordered at any cost as his personal image was at stake. Even if the TDP rejects the probe by a retired High Court Judge, Chandrababu Naidu comes under its purview once the Government frames the terms and reference.
