Verdict in AP skill scam case on September 21

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has concluded its hearings on a petition filed by TD chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu, seeking to quash the FIR registered against him by the AP-CID in the AP skill development scam. They argued that there was no need for the CID to get permission from the Governor to register an FIR on Naidu in the skill development scam as it involved intentional lootof public money for self-gain. Section 17 of the Prevention of Corruption Act was meant to protect the officials working honestly from political prosecution and it was not meant for Naidu who “resorted to loot of public money,” they averred. Earlier, Supreme Court senior advocates Siddartha Luthra and Harish Salve, representing Naidu, argued that as the FIR was registered in 2021, there was a need to take the governor’s permission under section 17 of PC Act to take up the inquiry.
