Katta Subramanya Naidu granted bail on medical grounds

Former Karnataka Minister Katta Subramanya Naidu has been granted bail by the Karnataka High Court on medical grounds today. He had appealed for bail to undergo treatment for cancer in London . Earlier his bail in the land de-notification case was rejected by the Lokayuktha special court on October 17 but had permitted him to get treatment only within the country under strict surveillance. The High Court Judge B V Pinto allowed conditional bail of two months to Katta Subramanya Naidu today which can be extended by one more month, after relevant medical records are submitted to the court. He was also asked to furnish a bond of five lakh rupees. Katta Naidu is accused of misusing his power as the Industries minister to allot and process 325 acres of land to the Itaska company. Katta Subramanya Naidu had appealed to High Court for bail saying that he has to undergo treatment in London where he was treated for cancer earlier. He had submitted that his stem cells had been stored at the same hospital and if he was allowed to undergo treatment there, it would save his life. He was taken to Mumbai Hospital for undergoing treatment for cancer after Lokayuktha Court gave him permission. On the other hand, the bail plea of former Chief Minister of Karnataka B S Yeddyurappa is being heard in the High Court. The Counsel for the Complainant Hanumantharaya submitted before the court his objections for giving bail to Yeddyurappa.
