The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has approached the Telangana High Court seeking directions for the speedy, day-to-day trial of money laundering cases against YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and others, citing prolonged delays in proceedings that have remained pending for nearly a decade.

The agency filed a writ petition on September 23, 2026, seeking directions to expedite the trial and ensure the personal appearance of all accused in the prosecution complaints filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.

In a press release issued on Saturday (October 10, 2026), the ED said it had filed nine prosecution complaints against Jagan Mohan Reddy and others before the Special Court for CBI cases in Nampally, Hyderabad, between 2016 and 2021.

Although cognisance has been taken in all nine complaints, the cases remain at a preliminary stage, with discharge petitions awaiting hearings.

The agency pointed out that despite several years having elapsed since cognisance was taken, there had been no significant progress in the proceedings. It said the pendency of discharge petitions had delayed further progress in the prosecution complaints.
