Harish Rao’s lawyer informed the court that the State government had suddenly announced a CBI probe into the project irregularities after midnight on Sunday. He argued that this was contrary to the earlier assurance given by the Advocate General that any decision would be taken only after discussion in the Assembly.
With the State government’s decision to hand over the matter to the CBI, the counsel pressed for immediate intervention. The court then adjourned the matter to Tuesday for further hearing.
