No Relief to Chandrababu Naidu, SC to Hear Plea on Oct 9
News 18The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to pass any interim relief on a plea filed by Telugu Desam Party supremo and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who is behind the bars in connection with the alleged Skill Development Corporation scam case. Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the Telugu Desam Party chief, said that enquiry against Naidu could not have been conducted without getting sanction from the Governor of the state. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi added that every enquiry into allegation “where the alleged offence is relatable to any recommendation made or decision taken by the public servant” requires a prior sanction. Naidu has approached the Supreme Court by filing a Special Leave Petition after a single judge bench of Justice S. Reddy of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on September 22 dismissed his petition to quash the FIR registered against him and to set aside his judicial remand.
