Hearing on bail in IRR case posted for Wednesday

The High Court posted the anticipatory bail petition of Chandrababu Naidu in the IRR alignment scam case on Wednesday.

Presenting the bail petition through hybrid mode from New Delhi, Supreme Court Lawyer Sidharth Luthra sought bail for Naidu. He argued that the case was nothing but a figment of imagination and politically motivated.

Advocate General S Subramanya Sriram, appearing on behalf of the CID said that a bail, while a PT warrant in the IRR was pending in the ACB court is not tenable. He pointed out that the alignment of the road was changed keeping the benefits of relatives and friends in return for kickbacks.
