Why did SC judge refuse to hear Naidu case?

Telugu Desam Party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu once again failed to get relief in the criminal proceedings against him in connection with a multi-crore skill development scam in the state, as his special leave petition in the Supreme Court was deferred at least by a week.

Reason: Supreme Court judge Justice SVN Bhatti on Wednesday recused himself from hearing a petition filed by Naidu seeking to quash the skill development case filed against him by the state Crime Investigation Department (CID).

The matter was listed before a bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti. As soon as the matter was taken, Justice Khanna told Naidu's lawyer, senior advocate Harish Salve, "My brother has some reservations about hearing the matter.”

Salve said he had nothing to say about Bhatti’s recusal from hearing the case.

“Please list it as early as possible", Salve replied. 

Accordingly, Justice Khanna directed the matter to be placed before a bench not comprising Justice Bhatti, pronouncing - "Subject to the orders of the Hon'ble the Chief Justice, the present special leave petition shall be placed before a bench of which one of us, my brother, is not a member.

The case was postponed to next Tuesday, as there were vacations to the court from Thursday. Naidu’s counsel Siddhartha Luthra later mentioned it before the bench of chief justice of India D Y Chandrachud, who deferred the hearing to next Tuesday.

It was a big surprise for the TDP chief’s lawyers, as to why Justice Bhatti said “not before me.” Apparently, the judge felt that his presence on the bench might give the impression that he might act in a prejudiced manner – as he hails from Andhra Pradesh.

Enquiries revealed that Justice Bhatti had been the judge of Andhra Pradesh high court between 2013 and 2019 (first in combined AP and then in AP high court) and delivered certain judgements against the then Naidu government.

That could be the reason why Justice Bhatti wanted to play safe. If he pronounces any judgement against Naidu, it might send wrong signals, he might have thought.

In any case, the recusal by Justice Bhatti resulted in further delay of the case and Naidu would have to be in jail for one more week.

Justice SV Bhatti: సుప్రీంకోర్టులో చంద్రబాబు పిటిషన్ పై నేడు విచారణ.. కేసును విచారించనున్న జస్టిస్ ఎస్వీ భట్టి మన తెలుగువారే! 

27-09-2023 Wed 09:40 | Andhra
  • చంద్రబాబు పిటిషన్ ను విచారించనున్న జస్టిస్ సంజీవ్ ఖన్నా, జస్టిస్ ఎస్వీ భట్టి ధర్మాసనం
  • జస్టిస్ ఎస్వీ భట్టిది ఉమ్మడి చిత్తూరు జిల్లా మదనపల్లి
  • మధ్యాహ్నం 11.30 గంటలకు పిటిషన్ విచారణకు వచ్చే అవకాశం
 
Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SV Bhatti bench to hear arguments in Chandrababu petition

స్కిల్ డెవలప్ మెంట్ కేసులో టీడీపీ అధినేత చంద్రబాబు దాఖలు చేసిన క్వాష్ పిటిషన్ పై సుప్రీంకోర్టులో ఈరోజు విచారణ జరగనుంది. చంద్రబాబు పిటిషన్ ఈరోజు సుప్రీంకోర్టులో లిస్ట్ అయింది. జస్టిస్ సంజీవ్ ఖన్నా, జస్టిస్ ఎస్వీ భట్టి ధర్మాసనం ఈ పిటిషన్ ను విచారించనుంది. చంద్రబాబు తరపున సుప్రీంకోర్టు సీనియర్ లాయర్లు సిద్ధార్థ్ లూథ్రా, హరీశ్ సాల్వే వాదనలను వినిపించనున్నారు. సిద్ధార్థ్ లూథ్రా నేరుగా సుప్రీంకోర్టులో వాదనలు వినిపించనుండగా, హరీశ్ సాల్వే ఫ్రాన్స్ నుంచి వర్చువల్ గా వాదనలు వినిపించబోతున్నారు. 

మరోవైపు జస్టిస్ ఎస్వీ భట్టి (సరస వెంకటనారాయణ భట్టి) ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ కు చెందిన వ్యక్తి కావడంతో... ఆయన 'నాట్ బిఫోర్ మీ' తీసుకునే అవకాశం కూడా ఉంది. జస్టిస్ ఎస్వీ భట్టి ఉమ్మడి చిత్తూరు జిల్లా మదనపల్లికి చెందినవారు. ఒకవేళ ఆయన నాట్ బిఫోర్ మీ తీసుకుంటే... రేపటి నుంచి అక్టోబర్ 2వ తేదీ వరకు సుప్రీంకోర్టుకు సెలవులు ఉన్న నేపథ్యంలో విచారణ వాయిదా పడే అవకాశం ఉంటుంది. అయితే ఇదే సమయంలో ప్రతివాదులకు సుప్రీంకోర్టు నోటీసులు మాత్రం పంపుతుంది. రిమాండ్ లో ఉన్న చంద్రబాబుకు మధ్యంతర ఊరటను (ఇంటెరిమ్ రిలీఫ్) కలిగించే అవకాశాలు కూడా ఉండొచ్చు. మధ్యాహ్నం 11.30 గంటల సమయంలో పిటిషన్ విచారణకు రావచ్చని భావిస్తున్నారు. చంద్రబాబు పిటిషన్ పై ధర్మాసనం ఎలాంటి నిర్ణయం తీసుకుంటుందనే ఉత్కంఠ ఇరు తెలుగు రాష్ట్రాల్లో నెలకొంది.
