The Chief Justice of India will hear the petition of Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the High Court has postponed the petitions for Wednesday here in AP.
The quash petition of remand in the Supreme Court will come up on the bench on Wednesday and the name of the bench will be known by this evening.
The regular lady Judge hearing the Chandrababu case went on leave. The incharge judge is also on leave from Wednesday. But the matter has been posted for the 27th.
Siddartha Luthra, who made an unlisted mention, apprised the top court that Chandrababu Naidu is in custody from September 8 and opposition in Andhra Pradesh is being curbed.
The apex court did not accede to the out-of-turn mentioning and asked Luthra to mention the matter again on September 26 for directions seeking urgent listing.
Chandrababu Naidu has filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court after a single bench of Justice Sreenivas Reddy of the Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed his petition on September 22.
“The petitioner was suddenly named in the FIR registered over twenty-one months ago, arrested in an illegal manner, and deprived of his liberty motivated only by political reasons and even though there is no material against him,” stated the plea filed before the apex court.
