SC Denies CBN's Plea, Extends Judicial Remand and Defers Bail Hearing
The Supreme Court has refused to urgently list a plea filed by former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu seeking to quash the FIR registered against him in connection with the alleged Skill Development Corporation scam case. The court instructed Naidu's lawyer to mention the matter again on September 26 for directions seeking urgent listing. Naidu was arrested on September 9 and is currently in judicial custody. The case relates to the establishment of Centers of Excellence in Andhra Pradesh, with the CID claiming a loss of Rs 371 crore to the state government.
