Andhra High Court Orders CBI Probe Into Defamatory Remarks On Judgments

Defamatory social media posts on judgments of the Andhra Pradesh High Court will be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, the High Court said today. The court has issued notice to 49 leaders and activists of the state's ruling YSR Congress Party. Its order came days after Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy complained to the Chief Justice of India, alleging that the Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court and four other judges were acting against his elected government.
