HC partially allows CID plea on Naidu’s interim bail conditions

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has partially allowed the petition filed by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) to impose additional conditions on former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu during his interim bail. The court allowed the restriction on Naidu from participating in political rallies and making statements on the case, but declined to permit the CID’s request to track his movements and restrict him from speaking to the media. The court emphasized that as the president of a political party, Naidu has the right to express his opinions on state policies.
