Plea on Jagan attack case will be taken up in regular course: AP HC

The Andhra Pradesh High Court Saturday declined to entertain a state government plea seeking emergency hearing on its plea for revocation of the Union Home Ministry's order handing over the probe into the knife attack on YSR Congress chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy to the NIA.

The court said it would take up the petition in the regular course on Monday, according to Reddy's lawyer Sujata Sarma.

The state government has been opposing the handing over of the case relating to the attack on Reddy in the Visakhapatnam airport VIP lounge on October 25 to the National Investigation Agency.

The central agency had informed a special court in Vijayawada on Friday that the Special Investigation Team of the state police, which has been investigating the case, has declined to cooperate with the agency ever since it took over the case last week,
The NIA also informed the court that the SIT had also refused to hand over the case file to them, even as the main accused J Srinivasa Rao was taken into custody and interrogated by the central agency team,
