Chandrababu Naidu's Plea Against FIR & Remand : Andhra Pradesh High Court Reserves Verdict [Live Updates]

Kumar: Income tax notice issued to the petitioner shows similar transactions from different projects. This shows the modus operandi

Bench: Pausing here for a second, who identifies the sub-contractors? Please explain to me the role of petitioner (Naidu) in selection of sub-contractor

Kumar submits a chronological chart of events

Kumar: Going back to (non) application of Section 17A, it is our understanding and the scam took place before 2018.

Kumar reads email comparing AP project to Gujarat setup:

"cost of machine might be 1 crore, how come claim is more? It's totally unreasonable'

Kumar: A1 (Subba Rao Ghata) sent email to Siemens, and marked CC to Lakshmi Narayan (then APSSDC director).

Kumar: Arrest is not based just on an FIR. Here we are talking about Skill Development and there they are developing a "different kind of skill"

Kumar: A preliminary inquiry was held, your lordship needs to examine case diary, to understand why it has taken us 1.5 years to add A37 (Naidu).

Kumar: Notices were sent to the Secretary and he has fled the country.

Kumar: Please see the income tax, of course it doesn't relate to this case, but it shows a modus operandi.

Justice K. Sreenivas Reddy: It is not in connection, why should we look at this?
