A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta dismissed the plea of Andhra Pradesh government against the Jan 10 HC order to seek cancellation of pre-arrest bail.The court, however, clarified that observations made in the order will not affect the investigations. The court said that the state would be at liberty to move for cancellation of bail if Naidu does not cooperate with the police. The court upheld the grant of relief to Naidu after noting that another accused in the case was also granted anticipatory bail by the HC and the order was upheld by the SC in 2022. tnn
