<p>The Supreme Court on Friday set the hearing date for the Telugu Desam Party chief’s anticipatory bail request to be held on November 9. As a result, the Andhra Pradesh police would continue to maintain its ground and not arrest former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the FiberNet case.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-246468″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-former-cm-naidu-has-not-been-detained-as-of-yet-in-the-fibernet-affair-download-20.jpg” alt=”theindiaprint.com former cm naidu has not been detained as of yet in the fibernet affair download 20″ width=”1237″ height=”823″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-former-cm-naidu-has-not-been-detained-as-of-yet-in-the-fibernet-affair-download-20.jpg 275w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/theindiaprint.com-former-cm-naidu-has-not-been-detained-as-of-yet-in-the-fibernet-affair-download-20-150×100.jpg 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1237px) 100vw, 1237px” title=”Former CM Naidu has not been detained as of yet in the FiberNet affair 6″></p>
<p>As senior attorney Ranjit Kumar, who is representing the Andhra Pradesh government, reiterated his earlier promise that Naidu won’t be touched in the FiberNet case until the next date of hearing on November 9, a bench of Justice Aniruddha Bose and Justice Belas M Trivedi posted Chandrababu Naidu’s request for anticipatory bail in the FiberNet case on November 9.</p>
<p>Let the former agreement remain, the beech ruled in its order, setting the subject for November 9.</p>
<p>The court said that it would be appropriate to consider Naidu’s anticipatory bail request in the FiberNet case after the judgment was rendered because the ruling about the application of Section 17A of the PC Act in Naidu’s appeal seeking the quashing of FIR in Skill Development fraud case remains reserved.</p>
<p>Senior attorney Ranjit Kumar representing the Andhra Pradesh government told the court that he has no problem waiting for the court’s decision as senior attorney Siddharth Luthra, representing Naidu, informed the bench that the Andhra Pradesh police are seeking to place him in custody in the FibreNet case despite the fact that he is already being held in the Skill Development scam case.</p>
<p>Naidu’s appeal against the Andhra Pradesh High Court decision to deny him anticipatory release earlier this week was being heard by the Supreme Court.</p>
<p>The Andhra Pradesh administration had promised the court during the case’s previous hearing on October 17 that the former Chief Minister would not be detained in the Fibernet case until the subject was given further consideration.</p>
<p>Prior to this, on October 13, the Andhra Pradesh administration gave the court its word that Nara Chandrababu Naidu, a former state chief minister, wouldn’t be detained until October 18.</p>
<p>In a previous hearing on October 13, the bench had said that the prior approval of the State Governor under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 is the same issue in both instances, the Skill Development Project Case and the Fibernet Case.</p>
<p>In response to Chandrababu Naidu’s request to have the IIR in the Skill Development case quashed since the proceedings against him did not get the prior approval of the State Governor as required by Section 17A of the PC Act, the court on October 17 reserved decision.</p>
