Justice P. Venkata Jyothirmai of the Andhra Pradesh High Court (HC) directed the registrar (judicial) to refer former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu’s bail petition in the skill development scam case to Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur for posting it before an appropriate Bench on October 30.
The judge recused from the hearing on the grounds that her conscience did not permit her to say or do anything about the matter connected to advocate G.V.L. Murthy, who sought to appear (for Mr. Naidu) along with his colleague G. Basaveswara Rao, happened to be the husband of a judicial officer.
