Andhra HC stays CBI probe against Naidu

In November, the CBI had registered a Preliminary Enquiry to probe alleged disproportionate assets amassed by the TDP chief and 12 others, following a directive of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on November 14.

The petition in this regard was filed by VS Vijayamma, widow of Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Rajashekhar Reddy.

The Supreme Court had later on November 23 refused to stay the CBI probe into alleged disproportionate assets of Naidu but granted him liberty to approach the state High Court for modification or vacation of its interim order.
