Hyderabad : Senior IAS officer and TTD Executive Officer L V Subrahmaniam has appeared before the CBI court in connection with some of the cases the agency has booked against him. He is the 11th accused in the Emaar Properties case. He was granted bail on a personal bond for Rs. 25,000. The court has posted further hearing of the case to July 9.
It may be mentioned that CBI has sought government’s permission to prosecute Subrahmaniam in the Emaar Properties scam as he was the Vice Chairman and MD of the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) at the time when the scam occurred. However, government after examination of the case, has declined permission, stating that there was no need to prosecute him under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The government has given permission for prosecution of another senior IAS officer B P Acharya who was also MD of the APIIC at the time of the scam. As the court has permitted CBI to prosecute him under charges it made out under IPC and Cr. PC, which do not require government’s permission, the agency is proceeding with these cases.
