SC Criticizes Telugu States District Courts
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: The Supreme Court was shocked with the conduct of judicial and administration proceedings in the district judiciary of the Telugu states, where judicial officers issued orders on a Sunday in the face of an apex court stay. The apex court expressed apprehensions over the aptitude of the presiding officers of the district courts in the two states, who could not understand the true purport of Supreme Court interim orders of stay in divorce petitions and proceeded from transferring the petition to issuing final orders of ex-parte divorce orders on a holiday. The apex court on April 28, 2023, issued stay orders in the divorce petition pending before the family court of Rangareddy district and ordered summons for Srinivas Rao. Even when the Supreme Court stay was in vogue, the divorce petition filed by the husband was transferred to the Srikakulam district family court.
