Jaganmohan Reddy, who is facing a batch of quid pro quo cases registered by the CBI at a special court here, has moved Telangana High Court seeking exemption from court appearances. He challenged the CBI special court’s order given on November 1, 2019 dismissing his petition seeking exemption from court appearances. Mr. Reddy, who had attended the special court while being the main opposition leader in AP Assembly, became the Chief Minister in 2019 elections. The special court had exempted him from court appearance from time to time after he became CM but passed a direction insisting his presence in the court a few days ago. For the first time, Mr. Reddy appeared before the court on this January 9.
