Bombay High Court Refuses To Quash Case Against Former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu For Allegedly Assaulting Prison Personnel

Live Law  

The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court recently declined to quash a criminal case against former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Telugu Desam Party leader Nakka Ananda Babu. The case dates back to 2010 when the two were accused of assaulting prison personnel during their transfer to the Aurangabad Central Jail following their arrest in another case. Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra for Naidu and Babu contended that since certain acts of the accused constituted both prison offenses under Prisons Act, 1894, specifically Chapter X and XI, and offenses under the IPC, the jurisdiction to prosecute lay solely with the Superintendent of the Prison, as per Section 48 of the Act. The court reasoned that the absence of specific mention of prison offenses indicated that the case fell under the purview of the IPC rather than the Prisons Act.
