By Express News Service

HYDERABAD:  The Telangana High Court on Friday dismissed criminal proceedings against India Cements. The CBI charged it as a co-accused in the ‘disproportionate assets’ case against AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan was hearing a case filed by the company in which it accused the CBI of attempting to criminalise its regular commercial activities. During the hearing, senior counsel for the petitioner stated that the firm was awarded a lease of mines and a water allocation to continue its business, and that it had been there previous to the YS Rajasekhara Reddy government in AP. 

During the YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s administration, the lease was renewed. “Because we were expanding our cement production, we requested more water allotment,” counsel said. He said the then-irrigation minister Lakshmaiah stated before the Supreme Court that there was nothing wrong in water allocation to the firm.
