The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s plea to quash the FIR registered against him in connection with the alleged diversion of funds meant for a project of the State Skill Development Corporation.
A bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M Trivedi, however, differed on the question of applicability of section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and ordered that the matter be placed before the Chief Justice of India for appropriate directions.
