The trial in the Supreme Court has started again today on the quash petition filed by TDP leader Chandrababu in the skill development case. Harish Salve on behalf of Chandrababu and Mukul Rohatgi on behalf of CID are hearing arguments. Both of them are giving different arguments during the trial. Arguments continue around 17A.
Salve told the court that 17A applies to Chandrababu. He said that 17A protects the law from misuse. He said that he had said the same thing yesterday. On this occasion, the Supreme Court asked a key question. When 17A is a procedure, does it apply as a right? He asked. The bench asked Salve how much more time would be taken for arguments. Salve asked the court for another hour.
With this, Mukul Rohatgi got confused and said, How much longer Yuvaraner, We have already been waiting for three days. He said that if you give an hour, he will come after an hour. They said to give notices on this, They will file a counter to those notices.
In reply to this, Salve said, It is a criminal case and there is no need to file counter affidavits. He said that if given an opportunity, he would place the reference judgments before them and cite cases where the accused were protected. On the other hand, the tribunal responded and commented that the investigation is being conducted here on the basis of the documents submitted by the CID to the High Court. It has been clarified that there is no need to give new notices. On the other hand, it is known that Justice Aniruddha Bose commented that 17A is applicable in this case during the hearing yesterday. Arguments are currently going on in the court.
