Supreme Court Refers Naidu Case to Larger Bench, Keeping Controversy Alive Ahead of Elections
- Supreme Court gives split verdict on Naidu's petition in skill development case, refers case to larger bench headed by Chief Justice of India
- Naidu had challenged high court order on validity of Section 17-A, hoping to get entire case quashed
- Case continues to hang over Naidu's head until larger bench hears case and gives verdict
- If larger bench rules against Naidu before elections, it could cause more trouble for him
- Naidu did not claim innocence, only challenged case on technical grounds based on Section 17-A
