The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday granted regular bail to former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in the AP State Skill Development Corporation scam case.
The single-judge Bench made âabsoluteâ the interim bail granted to Naidu on October 31 on medical grounds.
This comes as a huge relief to Naidu, who was on four-week interim bail and was earlier directed to report to Rajahmundry Jail on November 28.
Justice T. Mallikarjuna Rao ordered that Naidu be released on regular bail on the bail bond already furnished by him.
The judge directed that the condition imposed on Naidu over participating in public rallies and meetings will be relaxed from November 29.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo has been directed to produce the medical reports, regarding his treatment, before the Special Court, Vijayawada on or before November 28.
The judge, who had reserved his orders on a regular bail petition on November 17, pronounced the same on Monday.
Senior lawyer Siddarth Luthra had represented Naidu while the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (CID) was represented by Additional Advocate General P. Sudhakar Reddy.
