Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Nov 20: In the skill development case, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday granted bail to former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. According to Andhra Pradesh High Court lawyer Sunkara Krishnamurthy, Chandrababu Naidu was granted temporary bail until November 28. In this case, regular bail has been granted by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Siddarth Luthra, an advocate for the TDP legal team, presented arguments in support of Chandrababu Naidu. TDP leaders and supporters expressed satisfaction with the court's ruling. The TDP chieftain left Rajahmundry jail earlier this month on October 31, following his issuance of temporary bail by the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding an alleged skill development case.Naidu was placed in judicial custody for 53 days, with a four-week interim bond issued. The arrest of the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on September 9 in relation to the multi-crore skill development scam case caused political unrest in the state, with multiple TDP leaders claiming that Naidu was detained on the basis of false accusations and that the arrest was nothing more than a political "witch-hunt." In addition to the skill development case, Naidu is accused in two other graft cases: the Inner Ring Road scam and the Fibernet scam.The FiberNet case concerns purported tender manipulation in which a favoured company was given a work order under Phase-1 of the Andhra Pradesh FiberNet Project, which involves Rs. 330 crore. The Andhra Pradesh police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has accused the project of having irregularities from the time the tender was awarded until the work was finished, costing the state exchequer a significant amount of money.

AHMEDABAD: Following India's humiliating six-wicket loss to Australia in the World Cup final, head coach Rahul Dravid declared he hasn't given his future with the team any thought. In response, Dravid stated he hadn't thought about his future because he was concentrated on the World Cup 2023 campaign when asked if he would stay on as coach until then.

The most outstanding batsman was Travis Head, who led Australia to their sixth ICC Cricket World Cup victory with an amazing century.In a press conference after the match, Indian coach Rahul Dravid stated he has not given any thought to leaving his position as the team's head coach. He maintained that the World Cup and the team's pursuit of victory had captured all of his attention. "I haven't given it any thought. Once more, I just finished a game. I don't have time to consider this or to think back on it. Yes, I will do that when I have the opportunity. However, at this moment, I was entirely preoccupied with this campaign. All of my thoughts were on this World Cup, and nothing else.And I haven't thought about the future at all," Dravid stated at a press conference held after the game. Australia chose to bowl first before the game and dismissed India for 240 runs in 50 overs. Virat Kohli (54 in 63 balls, four boundaries), KL Rahul (66 in 107 balls, one four), and captain Rohit Sharma (47 in 31 balls, four boundaries and three sixes) all scored significant runs on a challenging batting surface. For Australia, Mitchell Starc (3/55) was the best bowler. Josh Hazlewood (2/60) and captain Pat Cummins (2/34) both bowled well. Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa each claimed a wicket.India got off to a great start in their chase of 241 and had the Australians down at 47/3. Travis Head (137 in 120 balls, 15 fours and 4 sixes) and Marnus Labuschagne (58 in 110 balls, 4 boundaries) both knocked the Indian side out of the game with a six-wicket victory.
