HYDERABAD SEPT. 27. The Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, today sent a formal request to the Prime Minister, A.B. Vajpayee, for entrusting the entire case relating to the fake stamp paper scam to a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, he explained that he had announced in the Assembly on Friday that the Centre would be requested to entrust the case to a sitting Judge of the Supreme Court. The first case in AP was registered in 1999 and was handed over to the State CBCID. In view of the wider ramifications of the issue and its multi-State nature, he had requested the CBI in 2001 to investigate the case.
