AP HC rejects CID’s plea of surveillance of Naidu on bail

Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday rejected the CID’s interim application to depute two DSP rank officers to tag along with TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu while he is out on medical bail, so that they can monitor his activities and submit reports to the court regularly.

The court however reiterated the bail conditions it imposed.

Rejecting the CID plea, the high court said that interim bail granted on health grounds should not be equated to a custodial bail. Additional Advocate General P Sudhakar Reddy represented the CID while D Srinivas argued on behalf of Naidu.
