The High Court of Andhra Pradesh on October 3 (Tuesday) reserved its judgment on former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s anticipatory bail petition in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road (IRR) alignment case.
Advocate-General S. Sriram represented the CID, while senior Supreme Court advocate Siddharth Luthra appeared for Mr. Naidu virtually.
Mr. Luthra reiterated that the arrest of Mr. Naidu was politically motivated, and hence his client should be enlarged on bail by invoking the provision of “deemed custody.”
