SC adjourns Naidu's plea in skill development case

The Supreme Court adjourned its hearing on Telugu Desam chief Chandrababu Naidu’s plea to quash the FIR in the skill development scam case. The Leader of Opposition filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the top court challenging an order passed by the AP High Court declining to quash the FIR in the skill development scam case. Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela Trivedi, hearing Naidu's petition to quash the FIR in the case, will hear the arguments of AP CID. The CID is represented by advocate Mukul Rohatgi. Justices Anirudhha Bose and Bela Trivedi heard the arguments on the applicability of Section 17-A of the Prevention of Corruption Act in the case. The court heard Naidu’s counsel Harish Salve and sought clarity on the application of Section 17-A quoting several high court judgments that interpreted 17-A differently.
