The long-pending CBI and ED cases involving Jagan have remained nearly inactive for many years, with hearings moving at a slow pace and the accused avoiding personal attendance. Over the past several years, Jagan has not appeared before the CBI court despite multiple hearings being scheduled, leading to increasing discussions over prolonged delays. Now, for the first time in years, Jagan has been directed to appear in person, bringing renewed attention to the long-standing cases. Reports indicate that he will attend the hearing at the Nampalli CBI Court in Hyderabad on November 20, and the appearance has already been formally communicated to the court authorities.

This development comes after Jagan recently returned from a family trip to London. While he initially assured that he would attend the hearing this month, he later attempted to avoid physical presence by requesting permission to attend virtually or be represented by his lawyer. However, the CBI rejected these options, insisting that he appear in person. With no alternative left, Jagan agreed to attend the hearing as directed.

There is considerable anticipation surrounding Jagan’s court visit, as it marks one of his rare physical appearances in recent years in connection with the long-standing investigations. Security and administrative arrangements are expected to be tightened around the Nampalli CBI Court due to the high-profile nature of the case and public interest. As per the current schedule, Jagan is expected to arrive at the court around 11:30 AM on November 20. This appearance may influence the pace of the pending cases and could signal renewed momentum in the legal proceedings. Observers and political circles are eagerly watching how the hearing will unfold and what it may imply for future developments in the case.
