KCR assets case: CBI probe ordered

The Principal Special Court for CBI cases here has directed the Hyderabad anti-corruption bureau unit of the Central Bureau of Investigation, to probe the assets of TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao, party leader T. Harish Rao and Medak MP M. Vijayashanti. Judge N. Balayogi issued the orders after hearing a petition filed by an advocate V. Balaji seeking directions to the CBI to register a FIR and inquire into the disproportionate assets of Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao, Mr. Harish Rao and Ms. Vijayashanti. The investigating agency was governed by the courts such as High Courts and Supreme Court and State and Central Governments and only those constitutional bodies could direct the agency on taking probe on any issue. In this specific case, the CBI would approach the High Court with a revision petition informing it that the special court could not issue such directions to it.
