Satya Prasad Special Government Pleader June 4, 2007 Per G.S. Singhvi, CJ Letter dated 11.5.2006 sent by Registrar (Vigilance) to the Registrar (Judicial) incorporating therein the recommendations made by a committee of three Judges of this Court in the matter of tampering of judgments relating to compensation payable to the persons whose land was submerged in lower Maneru Dam was treated by one of us i.e. the Chief Justice as a petition in public interest. On 6.6.2006, the learned Government Pleader for Home informed the Court that the government has entrusted the enquiry to CBCID. On 13.6.2006, 20.9.2006 and 26.12.2006, the Court gave interim directions for completion of the investigation by the CB (CID). On 28.3.2007, Shri M. Ratan, Additional Director General, CID, Andhra Pradesh gave out that challan will be presented in the Court immediately after receipt of sanction from the government. Shri A. Satya Prasad, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the State assured that the sanction will be granted within two weeks. However, on finding that some elements in the government were trying to interfere with the process of sanction, the Court passed the following order on 27.4.2007: “Shri A. Satya Prasad has produced another sealed cover in the Court. The same was opened and further progress report perused. It appears to us that some one in the Government is trying to stall the sanction of the prosecution. It will be in the interest of all those persons not to intermeddle with the process of law. We hope and trust that the concerned authorities will, without fail, take appropriate decision in the matter keeping in view the gravity of the crime. For the time being, we leave the matter at this juncture and adjourn the case to 04.06.2007. To be taken up as the first case.” Today, Shri Satya Prasad produced before the Court three files, which contain orders issued by the competent authority sanctioning prosecution qua twelve officers of Revenue Department, ten officers/officials of Law Department, three advocates, one official of Animal Husbandry Department and one civilian. In view of the above development, the proceedings of this case is closed and the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous with the direction to the competent officer of CBCID to file challans in the Court without delay.
