'We Find It Disturbing' : Supreme Court Stays Andhra High Court's Attempt To Examine 'Constitutional Breakdown' In AP
Live LawThe Supreme Court on Friday stayed the order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court whereby it had decided to examine if there is a "constitutional breakdown" in the State of AP. The development comes after a High Court Division Bench led by Justice Rakesh Kumar rejected an application filed by the State Government seeking recall of the said order. "I'm not allowing anyone to challenge my order in front of me…one may go to Supreme Court," the Justice Rakesh Kumar had remarked during the course of hearing of the State's recall application. Though assurance was given by the DGP, rampantly such excesses by police were going on and this court also noticed that after passing the judicial order, the High Court was attacked on social media by number of persons including one member of Parliament belonging to the party in power… This court had asked that State counsel may come prepared on the point as too whether in the circumstances which are prevailing, court can record a finding whether there is Constitutional breakdown.
