Hyderabad: In several cases, the State government, without implementing the AP High Court orders, would move the apex court against its orders and then follow the apex court’s orders. Taking a serious note of this, Justice B Chandra Kumar of the State High Court called for a report from the Chief Secretary on how effective appeals to the Supreme Court from the State government were. Dealing with a contempt petition filed by AV Ramana Reddy, the judge directed the Chief Secretary to constitute a committee on how many cases the State government lost before the apex court and the funds invested by the government in such litigations for the last three years.
Chandra Kumar further directed the Chief Secretary to spell out formulated guidelines as to cases that the government must move the apex court in appeal.
The judge said, “We have been observing that in several matters, the officers have been carrying the matters to the division bench and then to the Apex Court. Only after disposal of the case by the Supreme Court, the officers are implementing the orders of this court in many matters. The relief claimed by the petitioners may not have much financial implications, wherein, a case having similar facts or legal points the apex court has already expressed its view, I feel there is no need to file an appeal.”
He said that when the legal position is well settled authorities must take a pragmatic approach. He pointed out that in cases of daily wage, part-time, contract, casual, and contingent, it would be very difficult for such poor persons to approach the Supreme Court.
