CBI officials probing the illegal mining case involving the former Karnataka minister Mr Gali Janardhan reddy said today they would submit the charge sheet in the illegal mining case to the Supreme Court on Dec 28.

CBI sources said that they would also seek the constitution of a special court to try the case for speedy disposal. They said they would approach the high court seeking cancellation of bail given to Srilakshmi by the Nampally CBI court.

CBI has already submitted the charge sheet in the case to the special CBI court and said a supplementary charge sheet would be filed in the next few days. The investigative agency arrested the senior IAS officer Srilakshmi for her role in the illegal mining case but she was grated bail by the special court after she spent a day in the Chanchalguda jail.

The Centre has sanctioned the prosecution of Srilakshmi but the CBI is yet to receive the sanction letter.
CBI till now arrested three persons in the case including the main accused Mr Gali Janardhan reddy. The other two are his brother-in-law BV Srinivasa reddy and Mr Rajagopal, the former mining department director. (JUBS)
