High Court orders Andhra Pradesh to build Amaravati as capital

Deccan Chronicle  

Amaravati: In a setback to the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led Andhra Pradesh government, the AP High Court on Thursday said that the state government should follow the CRDA Act and ordered it to develop Amaravati as the capital, as per the master plan, within six months. A division bench headed by Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra in its final verdict on a batch of petitions filed challenging the acts on decentralisation and repeal of AP CRDA on Thursday, said that the state legislature had no competence to make any legislation on the state’s capital and directed the state government not to shift any office from the present capital city Amaravati. The High Court constituted a full bench comprising Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Nainala Jayasurya to hear more than 100 petitions filed by the farmers of Amaravati challenging the YSRCP government’s decision to form three capitals. It may be recalled that all these petitions against the two Bills — AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions and AP Capital Region Development Authority Repeal Bills 2020 — were first heard by a High Court bench headed by the Chief Justice J.K. Maheswari.
