Andhra Pradesh High Court Blocks CBI Director’s Unauthorized Officer Appointment in Tirupati Laddu Probe

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that the CBI Director had gone against Supreme Court orders in appointing an officer from the previously disbanded SIT to the current Tirupati laddu probe. The Court granted a writ petition by accused Kaduru Chinnappanna and directed the probe be done only by the reconstituted SIT, in accordance with the Supreme Court. This decision enforces judicial control over investigation processes and maintains the precedence of ensuring compliance with apex court orders in sensitive public issues.
