Can AP Reorganisation Act be considered flawless?

According to the opinion of the political analysts and experts, the recent Union Government’s ruling to impart Law and Order responsibilities of Hyderabad to the Governor of the state has several and stern constitutional violations. The experts opine that the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Bill is an ill-conjured up and ill-drafted enactment and is full of flaws.

There has been no record in the past that any city or province was made a common capital of two states until and unless it is a Union Territory. Hyderabad is neither a union territory nor can be made one like Chandigarh. Chandigarh has the advantage of being on the border of both Haryana and Chandigarh - which is certainly not the case with Hyderabad.

Also, designating any special powers to the Governor except those prescribed in the constitution will need a constitutional amendment, mandatorily. For any constitutional amendment to take place, the bill has to be passed in either house with a 2/3rd majority in either house. In the prevailing condition the same may not be possible as once the constitutional amendment is done, it is equally made applicable to all states and no state will be ever ready for that.

The intervention of the Supreme Court in this milieu is not solicited for obvious reasons. The wise decision on this matter could be made only by mere consultations and discussions between the reps of either state along with the officials and ministers concerned in the centre.
