The Special Leave petition filed on behalf of the leader of the Opposition in Andhra Pradesh N Chandrababu Naidu to quash the CID case filed against him has been listed for Tuesday in the Supreme Court.
Siddharth Luthra who filed the SLP succeeded in making a brief mention of how the voice of Opposition was being muzzled in Andhra Pradesh and how illegal arrests were being made and hence it may be heard today.
Chief Justice YV Chandrachud said he would listen to the case on Tuesday as it is mentioned in the list for mentioning on Tuesday.
But in the meantime, he enquired as to when Naidu was arrested and when he was sent to remand. Meanwhile, CID had moved a petition in ACB court seeking an extension of custody of Naidu.
On the other hand, Naidu’s advocates also filed a petition saying that the court should hear their arguments. They also moved a bail petition in the lower court. The issue is likely to be taken up today.
