ACB court reserves order on Naidu’s custody petition

The ACB court in Vijayawada completed the hearing of arguments on the CID custody petition of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. Additional advocate general Ponnavolu Sudhakar Reddy argued for the CID seeking five-day custody of Chandrababu Naidu.

He told the court that Naidu was arrested with full evidence in the case. He further said that Naidu and everyone involved in the case are to be questioned at length. He told the court that Naidu is to be questioned to find out the conspiracy in the case.

Sudhakar Reddy further told the ACB court that the funds were transferred from one company to another and have finally reached the TDP chief. He emphasized the need to question Chandrababu Naidu to know how they managed to take the government funds through the Skill Development Corporation.

Arguing for Chandrababu Naidu, senior advocates Siddhartha Luthra and Siddhartha Agarwal told the court that the CID did not seek custody of Naidu when they produced him in the court on September 10. He questioned the intention of the CID in filing the custody petition in 24 hours. What transpired in those 24 hours, he asked.

He told the court that Naidu was arrested against the rules and in violation of rules. There was no evidence to prove that Naidu indulged in the crime, Siddhartha Luthra said.

Siddharth Agarwal said that Naidu was arrested and taken to the CID office, where he was questioned about the crime. He said that Naidu was in the CID office for more than 10 hours and wondered what more information they wanted from him at this point of time.

After hearing the arguments, the ACB court judge posted the judgment to 11.30 in the morning on Thursday.

ACB court dismissed Naidu’s house remand petition

The ACB court in Vijayawada had dismissed the house remand petition filed by advocates for TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday. The court said that Naidu would be safe in the jail and not at home.

The advocates of the TDP led by Supreme Court advocate Siddharth Luthra filed the petition seeking house remand for Chandrababu Naidu. They said that there were several hardcore criminals in the Rajamahendravaram Central Prison and it would not be safe for Naidu to stay in their midst.

They further said that Chandrababu Naidu had been fighting against criminals in his 40 years long political career. He had ordered the closure of Red sanders smugglers and others, they said and added that those criminals were kept in Rajamahendravaram central prison.

However, advocates for the CID told the court that Naidu was given a special cell in the jail. He was under constant security and there was no need for fear in his life. Several police officials were guarding the jail, they said.

Even home minister Taneti Vanitha had said that Naidu’s protection is their responsibility. She said that nothing would happen to Chandrababu Naidu and he would be safe only in the jail.

The CID advocates also told the court that a huge compound wall with electric fencing would provide security for the TDP chief. They also told the court that home remand was not granted to anyone in the country and this should not be considered.

The advocates further told the court that medical facilities are also provided in the jail and doctors and their teams keep visiting the jail. Medicines and other provisions are also provided to Chandrababu Naidu, the advocates said.

The court had directed the jail officials to allow home food for Naidu. The security persons are bringing food for Naidu three times a day.

Meanwhile, Naidu’s family members Bhuvaneswari, Brahmani and Lokesh met Naidu in the jail on Tuesday evening. The three went to the jail and met Naidu for half-an-hour and left.

Lokesh is camping near the jail in a function hall in Rajamahendravaram. He is holding meetings with the party senior leaders to decide the future course of action.

The ACB court in Vijayawada heard the petitions on granting house arrest facility to TDP chief and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The advocates filed the petition seeking house arrest facility for Naidu.

Additional Advocate General Ponnavolu Sudhakar Reddy told the court that there is full security in the jail and the police are on round the clock duty. There was no threat to anyone from the co-prisoners, he said. The area is also covered by the police and there was a huge compound wall to protect the inmates from outsiders as well.

The additional advocate general also told the court that Naidu is healthy and there are health check up provisions in the jail. The doctors attached to the jail are also available to check any patient, he told the court.

The police would provide full security to Naidu and there was no threat to his life in the jail, the additional advocate general told the court.

ACB court permits attachment of Naidu’s guest house

The ACB court in Vijayawada on Friday authorised the AP CID to attach TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu’s guest house in Undavalli. The guest house in which Chandrababu Naidu has been living since 2015 is owned by businessman Lingamaneni Ramesh.

The AP CID alleged that Ligamaneni Ramesh had gifted the house to Chandrababu Naidu in return to the then TDP government making changes to the inner ring road for Amaravati. It is alleged that Chandrababu Naidu government had exempted the properties of Lingamaneni Ramesh from acquisition for inner ring road to Amaravati capital city.

The CID also alleged that Chandrababu Naidu had given exemption to Ramesh’s lands from land pooling, which was implemented in 29 villages. The TDP government took the lands from the farmers on pooling to build a world class capital.

The CID said that Chandrababu Naidu did a favour to the Lingamaneni family and gained the guest house as a gift.

The state government had earlier issued a GO authorising the CID to attach the guest house and auction it. The CID in turn had approached the CBI court for permission to attach and auction the guest house.

After several rounds of hearing on the petitions, the CBI court on Friday authorised the CID to attach the guest house. However, it had asked the CID to issue notices to Ramesh and Chandrababu Naidu, before taking any step further.

It is now to be seen how the AP CID would make its next move to get Chandrababu Naidu vacated from the house and attach it.
