He also said that Janardhan Reddy was prepared to spend up to Rs100 crore to secure bail. He corroborated suspended judge K Lakshmi Narasimha Rao’s statement to the ACB that Janardhan Reddy was eager to get bail no matter the cost. Narasimha Rao had, during interrogation, told ACB officials that he had offered Rs 15 crore to CBI court judge Naga Maruti Sarma for granting bail to Janardhan Reddy but Sarma turned down the offer. Later Sarma was transferred and Pattabhi Rama Rao was posted as CBI court judge. Narasimha Rao then consulted Pattabhi Rama Rao who was dealing with Gali’s case. Another judge, Prabhakar Rao, mediated between him and Pattabhi Rama Rao. Karantaka legislators Gali Somasekar Reddy and TH Suresh Babu met historysheeter P Yadagiri Rao and retired judge TV Chalapathi Rao, who were acting on behalf of Pattabhi Rama Rao, at Necklace Road here and finalised the deal. first published:January 01, 1970, 05:30 ISTlast updated:January 01, 1970, 05:30 IST
