The High Court has concluded the bail petition hearing for TDP chief Chandrababu in the skill development case, with judgment now reserved. Additional AG Ponnavolu Sudhakar Reddy presented the arguments on behalf of the CID, while senior advocate Siddhartha Luthra represented Chandrababu, offering counterarguments. Despite Chandrababu’s arrest, the ongoing bail proceedings focus on current aspects rather than delving into the roots of the case.
During the hearing, Luthra questioned the urgency of the investigation, highlighting its initiation in 2018 and questioning the sudden hastiness in the proceedings. He contested the credibility of the forensic audit, emphasizing that it was not adequately verified. According to Luthra, the forensic report, a crucial element in the case, may have been prepared with the intention of framing Chandrababu. The High Court has reserved its judgment on the bail petition after considering arguments from both sides.
Chandrababu’s arrest prior to the elections adds a political dimension to the legal proceedings. Luthra’s assertion regarding the forensic audit raises concerns about the integrity of the evidence presented against Chandrababu in the skill development case. As the High Court now deliberates on the bail petition, the outcome remains uncertain, leaving room for the legal intricacies surrounding the case to unfold in the coming days.
