An Ex-Andhra Pradesh HC Judge has filed a personal affidavit in the Supreme Court to admit that he was “trying to collect more evidence” on the alleged involvement of the daughters of a sitting top court judge in the Amaravati land scam.
The sitting Supreme Court Judge, the leaked conversation & an FIR registered in connection with the Amaravati land cases, make it clear, is Justice NV Ramana.
Justice V Eswaraiah has filed his personal affidavit as part of his appeal against the Andhra Pradesh high court order to investigate an alleged phone conversation between him & a suspended judicial officer, which the HC had dubbed as a “serious conspiracy” to destablise the judiciary.
In his affidavit that will be examined by the Top Court on Monday, justice Eswaraiah, who retired as acting Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh HC in 2013, has submitted on oath to affirm that he indeed had a conversation with the suspended Dstrict munsif Magistrate about the senior SC Judge & then chief justice of the HC. “That the relatives of a senior sitting SC judge were involved in these transactions (Amaravati land deals) was the information I had received, & was trying to collect more evidence with regard to it,” stated the affidavit by the retired judge, who is presently the chairman of state’s higher education regulatory & monitoring commission.
“I sought information & material from Mr Ramakrishna (judicial officer) in that phone conversation with regard to benami transactions, involving the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) in Andhra Pradesh, & involvement of the relatives of the said Supreme Court judge,” read the affidavit, adding any inquiry into his personal chats will be violating his right to privacy.
Justice Eswaraiah said after this contentious conversation with the munsif magistrate on July 20 last year, an FIR was registered naming the 2 daughters of the sitting SC Judge, Justice Ramana.
Justice Eswaraiah has filed his affidavit after an SC bench, headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan, directed him on Jan 11 to affirm it on oath that the voice in recorded conversation was his & he filed a correct transcript of the recording.
