Jagan Mohan appears before CBI special court in Hyderabad in long-pending DA case

Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, appeared before a special court for CBI cases in Nampally, Hyderabad, on Thursday (November 20, 2025), complying with the Court’s recent directive that he must ensure his personal appearance for the hearing in the long-pending disproportionate assets (DA) case.

The court order came after the withdrawal of Mr. Reddy’s plea seeking exemption from personal appearance, a request which was allegedly opposed by the CBI.

The Nampally Court has scheduled the next hearing in the cases involving Mr. Reddy for November 28, while the discharge petition filed by him remains pending.

The DA case, which dates back over a decade, pertains to alleged quid pro quo investments made by private firms and individual investors in Mr. Reddy’s companies, reportedly in exchange for government favours during the tenure of his father, the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister.

Tight security arrangements were put in place by the Hyderabad Police for Mr. Reddy’s visit. He landed at Begumpet airport before proceeding towards the Court, with traffic restrictions imposed to ensure the smooth movement of his convoy.
