HC reserves verdict on Naidu's anticipatory bail in IRR case.
The High Court on Saturday reserved its verdict on former CM N. Chandrababu Naidu’s anticipatory bail petition in Amaravati Inner Ring Road (IRR) alignment case.
Advocates for both parties submitted written arguments to a single-judge Bench comprising Justice T. Mallikarjuna Rao, who kept the judgment in reserve after recording the statements.
Mr. Naidu, who was chairman of AP Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA), P. Narayana, former Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development and CRDA Vice-Chairman, and some others are accused of abusing their official positions with corrupt motives in finalizing the designs of IRR.
They have also allegedly modified the Amaravati zonal development plans in collusion with public servants and private persons involved in that exercise.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
