SC CJI to hear Naidu case on Tuesday

New Delhi: The special leave petition of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has been postponed to October 3 . The bench headed by Chief Justice of India will hear the case.

The case was listed for hearing today. A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti were to hear the plea, but Justice Bhatti recused from hearing the plea seeking quashing of the FIR in the alleged skill development scam. The Supreme Court said it will hear the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief prompting the court to postpone the hearing. Following this, the advocate for Naidu Siddharth Luthra went to the CJI and the CJI who heard the arguments of Luthra and the advocates for the AP CID said that he would take up the case for hearing on next Tuesday.
