The Supreme Court will hear Andhra Pradesh government’s plea challenging a high court order granting regular bail to TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development corporation scam case on January 19, 2024.
A bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Satish Chandra Sharma adjourned the hearing after senior advocate Harish Salve, representing Naidu, requested time to file a reply to the state government’s plea.
On November 28, the Apex Court had sought a response from Naidu on the plea.
The court had also temporarily relaxed Naidu’s bail conditions, allowing him to participate in public rallies and meetings until December 8, the next date of the hearing.
Other bail conditions, including refraining from making public statements about the case, remain in force.
On November 20, the Andhra Pradesh high court had converted Naidu’s interim medical bail into absolute bail, ordering his release on regular bail, considering factors such as his age, health, and non-flight risk.
