Court now hears the case of Y Balaji(one of the victims in the cash for jobs scam):
Sr. Adv. Gopal Sankarnarayanan: this is the case where the appointment of a special prosecutor is pending. We had suggested a list of names. The SLP is item 26. And the MA is item 37. MA deals with the appointment of SPP. 26 is the SLP where there were thousands of accused. Your lordships had asked for a chart. It’s where the HC had said they will not interfere in the order of clubbing. They’ve given the names. We’ve updated our list based on that. There’s a list of main accused in CC No. 24. The main accused are the erstwhile transport minister, his brother and their confidants. There are total 2202 accused.
