Before today’s hearing drew to a close, the Supreme Court judges also took note of the number of senior counsel appearing for Naidu.
“We will all fade in front of (Mukul) Rohatgi (appearing for the Andhra Pradesh government),” Salve quipped, in reply.
“If this was the lower court, we would not have permitted so many counsel. But in Supreme Court, you have this privilege,” Justice Trivedi remarked.
Naidu’s counsel today asserted that Naidu’s arrest was politically motivated. It is a purely political act, Salve argued.
“There are FIR after FIR … this is a clear case of regime revenge.. 73-year-old man is being interrogated.. another 2 FIRs are also lined up..,” Luthra added.
