The Supreme Court on November 9 adjourned to November 30 the hearing on Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu's plea seeking anticipatory bail in the FibreNet case.
A Bench of justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M. Trivedi deferred the matter, saying that the judgment in another petition filed by Mr. Naidu seeking quashing of plea in the skill development scam case is likely to be delivered after the court's Deepavali vacation.
"There is another petition by the same petitioner which has certain overlapping issues in which judgment has been reserved by this Bench. Let the matter be listed for hearing on November 30," the Bench said.
During the brief hearing, senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Mr. Naidu, said the initial arrangement that the police would not arrest Mr. Naidu should continue.
Senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, appearing for the Andhra Pradesh government, said the arrangement is continuing. The top court had earlier asked the Andhra Pradesh Police not to arrest Mr. Naidu in the FibreNet case till it delivers its verdict on the plea in the skill development scam case. It had told the Andhra Pradesh Police, "Let the earlier understanding continue."
The Bench was referring to the statement of the Andhra Pradesh Police on October 13, when it had said that police will not take Mr. Naidu into custody. Justice Bose said since the order is reserved on another plea, it would be appropriate if the court takes up the instant plea of Mr. Naidu after the verdict is delivered.
