# Supreme Court Upholds Quashing of Amaravati Land Pooling Case 2026-08-14T16:16:05+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court’s decision to quash a 2021 criminal case against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Ponguru Narayana over alleged irregularities in the Amaravati land pooling scheme. The court refused to interfere with the High Court order. The decision offers legal relief to Naidu and Narayana, while weakening the case pursued during the previous YCP administration. However, the ruling concerns the challenge to the quashing of the criminal case. It does not certify that every allegation about the land pooling process was false or that the entire scheme was completely transparent. The controversy is likely to remain a political issue in Andhra Pradesh. ## Coverage - m9.news Tags: Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, Ponguru Narayana, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supreme-court-upholds-quashing-of-amaravati-land-pooling-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
