Apex court turns down plea against T
Apex court turns down plea against T, Bifurcating Andhra Pradesh, Telangana Bill. The Bench turned down the plea of advocate P V Krishnaiah that the apex court should consider his petition as the Andhra Pradesh High Court had dismissed the issue raised by him on merits.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has again rejected a plea opposing the proposed creation of the new state of Telangana by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh, terming it “premature.”
“It is still premature. We cannot go into it till Andhra Pradesh Assembly takes a decision," a Bench comprising justices H L Dattu and S A Bobde said, nearly four months after the apex court on Monday dismissed another plea against Telangana creation on similar grounds .
The Bench turned down the plea of advocate P V Krishnaiah that the apex court should consider his petition as the Andhra Pradesh High Court had dismissed the issue raised by him on merits.
It said he was at liberty to withdraw the petition and could approach the appropriate forum after the State Assembly and the Centre took a decision on the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh for creation of Telangana.
The apex court had on August 26, 2013 also termed as "premature" the petition filed by the lawyer against the proposed creation of the new state of Telangana by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh, which is yet to get Parliament's nod. The Union Cabinet on December 5, 2013, gave the go-ahead for the creation of 10-district Telangana as the country's 29th state.
The PIL said the proposal for the creation of Telangana was political as in the past the demand for it had been rejected twice. Further, the advocate said the decision also resulted in a hostile environment in the State.
The petitioner said there had been a demand for bifurcating other States, but the Centre did not accept it because of political considerations.
