Hyderabad, October 9 : Suspended IAS officer and accused in the Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) illegal mining case, Y Srilakshmi, was released on bail from Women's Central Prisons at Chanchalguda on Tuesday.
It may be mentioned that Srilakshmi was granted interim bail by the a special CBI court on Monday. However, since the delivery of the order was delayed, her release from the prison was postponed to Tuesday. Granting her the interim bail from October 8 to January 20, 2013, Principal special judge U V Durga Prasad Rao directed her to appear in the court on January 21. The judge said interim bail was being given in consideration of Srilakshmi’s health condition. She was also asked to deposit her passport in the court and not leave Hyderabad. She also furnished two bonds of Rs 15,000 each for her release.
Srilakshmi was arrested on November 28 last year for allegedly assisting mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy in getting mining contracts through illegal means to at least 68 acres in Anthagangamma Konda in Anantapur district. She also allegedly drafted the fine print in such a way as to leave loopholes that helped Janardhan Reddy’s company transport mined iron ore out of Andhra Pradesh.
