Ex-CM N. Chandrababu Naidu's bail plea in skill dev. scam to be heard on Oct 27. SC likely to deliver verdict on his quash petition on Nov 8.
Former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu’s bail plea in the skill development scam case is scheduled to be heard by Justice P. Venkata Jyothirmai of the High Court (HC) on October 27.
The matter was last heard on October 19, when Justice K. Suresh Reddy said he was inclined to hear it after Dasara’s vacation but conceded Mr. Naidu’s advocates’ request to post it before a Dasara vacation Bench.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is likely to deliver its verdict on Mr. Naidu’s quash petition in the same case on November 8.
He is currently on judicial remand in the Rajamahendravaram central jail till November 1.
Mr. Naidu was arrested by the CID at Nandyal in the early hours of September 9 for allegedly masterminding the skill development scam. He has since been in jail as attempts to secure bail for him failed.
He is also accused in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road alignment and fibernet scam cases.
Mr. Naidu’s son and former Minister Lokesh, who is a co-accused in all those cases, got anticipatory bail and has been waging a legal battle for them.
