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

Salve: Hopelessly drummed up complaint! They never say that service was not rendered. They say sub-contractors did not deliver and hence State's money is wasted. That's not for us to go into, it starts on the wrong foot. It's a nonsensical allegation.

Salve: Now at this stage, I have already made my point. Section 17A stands in their way, they have not taken sanction. Now about the memo, by way of which petitioner was roped in.

Salve: This is the stupidity of the allegation, this was a tax complaint, the money was given for centre, centres are up and running, whether they have inflated invoices, these are matters of their internal functioning, how are we concerned?

Salve: Now my lord, this is a CENVAT issue. Nobody is saying investigate if centres were set up. Charges have been framed straight under PC Act...straight!

Salve: Seimnes says the took CENVAT invoices. Grabbing this opportunity, the chairman of AP State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) writes this complaint

Salve: Now look at this complaint. He doesn't say the centres have not been formed. They have been formed!

Salve: But see how the complaint has come up in "regime revenge". It's complete abuse of power, complete!

Salve: Siemens claimed that one of their sub-companies has done the work. The work has been done, the centres have come up, that is not in doubt.

Salve: After this agreement was signed, there is also an undertaking to complete the project and their individual liabilities

Salve: There was a project, project was valued, it was put in place and now centers were being handed over one by one. The hand over letters are also filed.

Salve reading 'scope of services' from the report:

AP State Skill Development Corporation will demarcate necessary land and get permission. And give a total sum of 330 crores.

Salve: 330 crore is for all the centres my lord. Roughly 10% of the installation value

Salve reading from the contract, showing that State had only limited liability and majority was being brought by the private companies. Also trying to show that both parties had agreed to the terms.

Salve: They have looked at the various elements of the project- Project estimate, copy of valuation is submitted and each cost and sub-cost is evaluated...

*Salve reading valuation report and claiming how detailed it is*

Salve: Then the report goes head by head, gives manpower, experts, insurance...the cost was accepted, everything was being brought by the private companies, the government was only bringing in cash.

Counsel for State: Is this (proceedings) also revenge politics?

Salve: You had to give us the counter last night...

Salve: The suggestion that everything was done quietly, henchmen were used...it's almost embarrassing. The report, everything is there in public domain...

Salve: With this my lord, let's get to the facts. This is an open and shut case. This is 'Regime Revenge'. We know 2024 #GeneralElection are coming. It's ironic that he would tamper with witnesses...

Salve: The complaint as filed was a GST complaint. Your lordship had dealt with this case for the other accused

Salve: There was a project to establish technical skill developing centers, on the premises that 90% would be paid by private industries, and 10% by State
