This is really good news for all YSRCP followers. The AP Government which has been facing a backlash from the AP High Court and Supreme Court has got a much-needed reprieve. The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued key orders pertaining to the Amravati land scam case. The Apex Court stayed the gag order which was earlier passed by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh. It is known that a bench led by Chief Judge JK Maheshwari had issued orders directing media not to report against the alleged irregularities reported by a Special Investigation Team in the Amaravati land purchases, which includes an FIR filed by the ACB against a former legal officer Dammalapati Srinivas and others. The FIR also included daughters of a sitting Supreme Court judge.<\/p>\n

YS Jaganmohan Reddy post the 2019 Assembly polls, having taken charge as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh had set up a Special Investigation Team comprising of 10 officers to look into the alleged irregularities in the Amaravati lands acquisition. The SIT was led by IPS officer K Raghuram Reddy.
