NEW DELHI:  The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended interim protection to three accused, who were asked to surrender by the high court in the alleged Rs 3,500 crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi, however, refused to interfere with the Andhra Pradesh High Court which cancelled the default bail granted to the accused.

The top court asked the accused to move trial court for regular bail.
