After the plea was dismissed, a court in Vijaywada granted two-day police custody for Naidu to the CID for interrogation.
The Supreme Court refused to hear the quash petition of N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday. The Andra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department filed the FIR against Naidu in connection with the skill development scam case. The petition also?challenged his remand in the case.
According to a report by Live Law, the petition was not included in the list of oral matters for today. Out-of-turn mentioning was refused to be taken up by the CJI and?his lawyer Senior Advocate Siddharth Luthra was asked to mention the matter tomorrow.
Reportedly, Luthra highlighted the urgency of the matter and stated,?"This is related to the State of Andhra Pradesh where the opposition is being curbed...he was arrested on September 8."
But he was advised to come tomorrow on the mentioning list by CJI as he was not inclined to entertain it today.?
