The Karnataka high court on Monday issued notices to the Central Bureau of Investigation on a petition filed by mining baron and former minister Janardhan Reddy. Justice N Ananda ordered the notice on a plea which sought to quash the CBI probe against Reddy.
The matter will be heard again on March 14. The CBI is probing Reddy's alleged involvement in the mining scam and even has him in their custody at Bengaluru.
Meanwhile the special CBI court has extended Reddy's custody by another four days. The CBI, which is questioning him at the Bengaluru Central jail sought extension of custody for further questioning on the matter.
