Supreme Court to Hear Naidu’s Skill Scam SLP Today:
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by N. Chandrababu Naidu, AS A TDP President. Naidu’s SLP challenges the dismissal of his FIR quash petition related to the skill development scam by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
Siddarth Luthra, Naidu’s legal representative, submitted a request for the SLP to be heard, which was accepted by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud.
Naidu’s plea to the apex court seeks the annulment of the case filed against him in the skill development scam. He argues that the FIR was filed without obtaining prior permission from the Governor, which he claims is a requirement under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
During a meeting with Naidu’s legal team on Monday, the Chief Justice instructed them to request a hearing for Tuesday, with the actual hearing scheduled for Wednesday. They also informed him that Naidu has been in judicial remand since September 10 following his arrest in the Nandyal case.
