Vijayawada: AP High Court Justice Venkata Jyothirmai has recused herself from hearing the bail and interim bail petitions of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu in the AP State Skill Development Corporation case on Friday.

The petitions came up for hearing before the court vacation bench on Friday. Justice Venkata Jyothirmai said one of the advocates of the petitioner is the husband of a judicial officer and she does not want to hear the cases of that particular advocate.

She said her conscience is not allowing her to hear the petitions. She asked the petitioner’s counsel to place before the Chief Justice the petitions detailing about the health condition of Naidu and asked the High Court Registry to see that the petitions are heard on October 30.

Naidu’s counsels Sidharth Luthra and Dammalapati Srinivas sought directions to the Registry to take steps for urgent hearing of the petitions in view of Naidu’s health condition.
