BANGALORE: The Lokayukta Special Court, on Saturday, posted the bail petition of former minister Katta Subramanya Naidu’s son Katta Jagadish Naidu and MD Srinivas to December 2. Judge N K Sudheendra Rao extended the duo’s judicial custody till December 9. As their judicial custody ended on Saturday, they were present in court. On November 21, Jagadish had applied for bail stating that he had to look after his ailing father and mother. Jagadish’s counsel cited various judgments of the SC while asking the judge to grant the bail. But Lokayukta Special Public Prosecutor Pramod Chandra objected and said that bail can be granted if it is filed on health grounds and not on merit grounds. The Judge directed the police to take up a separate case against Jakkaiah and Venkaiah, who are also accused in the KIADB case, as they are absconding. He asked the police to file a charge-sheet against them and adjourned the case to December 16.
