High Court Verdict on Naidu's Quash Petition Challenged in Supreme Court

Vijayawada: Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court on Saturday challenging Andhra Pradesh High Court’s order of dismissing FIR quash petition filed by him in connection with the AP skill development scam of Rs 371 crore.

Naidu’s advocates are likely to meet Supreme Court Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud on Monday to seek special mention of the SLP to take it up for hearing on the same day.

The AP High Court on Friday dismissed the FIR quash petition of Naidu underlining the need for an investigation to be carried with utmost proficiency and said the court was not inclined to interfere with the impugned proceedings.

With this, the ACB court granted two days custody to AP-CID to probe him further in the case and also extended the judicial remand serving at central prison in Rajahmundry over the weekend.
