Centre mum on High Court bifurcation
Despite Telangana urging the Centre to facilitate division of High Court in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, the central government still seems to be non-committal. The Centre still wishes to throw the ball into the court of the two state governments.
​New Delhi: Despite Telangana urging the Centre to facilitate division of High Court in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, the central government still seems to be non-committal. The Centre still wishes to throw the ball into the court of the two state governments.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, while reply to the debate on Special Status to Andhra Pradesh in Rajya Sabha, made it clear in a passing reference.
As the capital city comes up in the state of Andhra Pradesh or in case both the states make some sort of arrangement, the division of High Court would come through, Jaitley remarked.
Surprisingly, the Finance Minister made no specific assurance to ensure the division of High Court. The Telangana government feels that the recalcitrant attitude of Andhra Pradesh is behind this standoff.
Therefore, it wants the Centre to intervene. The Finance Minister’s reply reveals that the Centre would continue to remain neutral on the issue and leave it to the two states to settle.
As the two states are in irreconcilable mode, the division of High Court seems to be not forthcoming.
