Iron out HC division issue: Dattatreya to Telangana, AP CMs
Union Minister of State for Labour Bandaru Dattatreya on Saturday said the Chief Ministers of Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh should sit together and sort out issues with regard to the bifurcation of Hyderabad High Court. He said the Centre has no role in it.
Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Labour Bandaru Dattatreya on Saturday said the Chief Ministers of Telangana State and Andhra Pradesh should sit together and sort out issues with regard to the bifurcation of Hyderabad High Court. He said the Centre has no role in it.
"It (the current situation in Telangana with regard to bifurcation of HC) does not reflect any failure on part of the Centre. That allegation is baseless. Both the (Chief Ministers K Chandrashekar Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu) should sit together and discuss (the issue) and come to a decision," he said at a press conference here.
The Union Minister along with A Narasimha Reddy, Chairman of Bar Council of High Court, earlier met Governor E S L Narasimhan and apprised him of the situation in the backdrop of raging row between the two States over judicial appointments and HC bifurcation.
The BJP leader, who hails from Telangana, said he recently met Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda and Home Minister Rajnath Singh and discussed the issue with them. Telangana judicial employees and advocates are on a strike for the past few days demanding immediate bifurcation of the HC. They are also protesting the allotment of judges from Andhra in Telangana's Courts.
The HC had earlier suspended 11 judicial officers on disciplinary grounds. The agitating officials and advocates are also demanding revocation of suspension of the judges. Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, but both States still have a common HC.
