The Fiji Times reports the Fiji Independent Commission against Corruption filed an appeal with the High Court in Suva on December 7 against the judgement of the Chief Magistrate Usaia Ratuvili.
Dr Reddy, former Education Minister and now Minister for Waterways , was acquitted earlier last month of one count of bribery and one count of undue influence.

FICAC has appealed on eight grounds.
The case has been adjourned until February 9.
