hyderabad: The PIL bench of the High Court comprising Acting Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosale and Justice SV Bhatt were informed by the government of Telangana that the State Forum created under the Consumer Protection Act for the state of AP will also deal with matters arising from the state of Telangana.

This is in light of the constant battles brewing between the states on jurisdiction and distribution of assets. The government informed the court that the Telangana government had by amendment included the Forum in the schedule or a joint court.

The information was given to the court in the course of the bench hearing a writ plea filed as a PIL by N Srinivas the President of the confederation of All Telangana Consumers Organisation (CATCO) complaining that the government had failed to properly constitute the forum.

He referred to an earlier undertaking to the court that it would be constituted within a given time-frame and even after consulting the Chief Justice it had failed to go ahead with its constitution.
