This Is How Chandrababu & Co Trying For Bail By Hook Or Crook!
Chandrababu Naidu, who was arrested and sent to judicial remand in a Rs 371 crore Skill Development Scam case, is trying to secure bail by any means necessary. Known for his manipulative tactics, Chandrababu has taken an unprecedented step by involving advocate GVL Murthy in the situation. It should be noted that Murthy is not connected to Chandrababu's legal team and is not thoroughly familiar with the case. Nevertheless, Chandrababu allegedly opted for Murthy to gain an "undue" advantage. While Basaveswara Rao is representing Babu and has already filed a "Consent Wakalat," Babu & Co managed to involve Murthy in the matter.
What's even more strange and ironic is that neither Basaveswarao Rao nor Murthy have presented their arguments. In fact, GVL Murthy did not even appear for the hearing on Friday. This strongly suggests that GVL Murthy was brought in by Babu & Co for a specific purpose.
What is the purpose of hiring GVL Murthy?
Delving into the details, High Court Vacation Bench Justice Venkata Jyotirmayi Pratap is known for her strict and honest nature. As Chandrababu does not want his bail petition to be heard by Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap, Babu and Co devised a plan by researching "Not Before" lawyers for Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap. Eventually, Chandrababu and his team discovered GVL Murthy. Since GVL Murthy's wife is related to Jyotirmayi Pratap, the justice would not accept the case.
How was GVL Murthy trapped?
GVL Murthy was allegedly lured into Chandrababu & Co's plan using a Yellow Media channel owner who has a good rapport with Murthy. Murthy was also reportedly offered a hefty amount for filing the Wakalat on behalf of Chandrababu. Murthy typically does not handle such high-profile cases and is usually known for taking up cases related to employment-related conflicts. As Murthy belongs to Chandrababu's community, the said Yellow Media channel owner managed to bring Murthy on board.
Huge setback for Chandrababu & Co
As expected, Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap recused himself from hearing Chandrababu's case and stated "Not Before." However, there was an unexpected twist that Babu & Co did not anticipate. Justice Jyotirymayi Pratap referred the case to HC Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and scheduled it for Monday, October 30th. This came as a rude shock to Chandrababu & Co. Siddharth Luthra, who appeared virtually, requested the justice to remove the date and further requested to only transfer the file to the CJ. Chandrababu's legal counsel wanted to appeal to the CJ for the specific bench. However, Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap did not heed the requests of Chandrababu's legal counsel. Despite hatching a plan and securing exemption from a hearing by a sincere justice like Jyotirmayi Pratap, the whole turn of events turned out to be a significant setback for Babu and his team.
Justice Nimmagadda Vs. Justice Adusumilli
Currently, the High Court is observing Dasara holidays. So, the Vacation Bench consists of Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap, Justice Nimmagadda Venkateswarulu, and Justice Adusumilli Ravindra Babu. Chandrababu's legal counsel tactfully devised a plan and used "Never Before." As a result, Chandrababu's bail plea could not be heard by Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap. Therefore, Chandrababu's bail plea would be heard by either Justice Nimmagadda Venkateswarulu or Justice Adusumilli Ravindra Babu. This is the plan devised by Chandrababu and his legal counsel. However, Justice Jyotirmayi Pratap has given a shock to Babu's legal counsel by postponing the hearing to October 30th, i.e., Monday.
Bottom Line
All these events clearly indicate that the key accused in the Skill Development Scam case and Khaidi No. 7691, Chandrababu Naidu, is resorting to all sorts of manipulations and technical deviations to obtain bail in the Skill Development Scam case. The crucial question is whether the people of the state would appreciate Babu & Co's actions and trust him. Well, it's a clear "no."
