It sought the agencys response to the same.
Essentially this court is prima facie satisfied with the material placed before it about the linkage of mining in Bellary and mining in Ananthpur district of Andhra Pradesh, remarked a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India S H Kapadia.
It also observed,We also prima facie found that material ore extracted by two companies,Associated Mining Company and Deccan Mining Syndicate,is being routed through Obulapuram in Andhra Pradesh. It is for this reason we are issuing notice to the CBI. We want CBI to investigate this aspect of linkage.
The court directed the CBI to apprise it of the status of investigation it had undertaken against the Reddy brothers Obulapuram Mining Company pursuant to the registration of FIR by it.
On September 5,the CBI had arrested one of the three Reddy brothers,G Janardhana Reddy,and OMC managing director Srinivas Reddy for their role in the mining scam.
