PIL filed in SC against Telangana

The Hindu  

A PIL has been been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the Constitutional validity of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act that led to creation of the new State of Telangana. Advocate G Venkatesh Rao, appearing for the committee, sought urgent hearing of the PIL by citing media reports that said that a “war room” is being created to drive out persons, who do not hail from Telangana, from Hyderabad. It said the the APR Act was passed by both Houses of Parliament “unconstitutionally and undemocratically”, at the behest of the ruling Congress party at the centre, by mala fide political maneuvers and therefore by no stretch of imagination can it be considered the ‘will’ of the people of the undivided State of Andhra Pradesh,” it said. It alleged the ruling dispensation ignored the decision of Andhra Pradesh assembly and the “in—depth analysis and weighty recommendations of the ‘Justice Srikrishna Committee Report — 2010“. “The Bill was introduced at the behest of a political party called Telangana Rashtra Samiti whose representation in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly was only 10 Members in an Assembly having a strength of 294 Members, thereby having only 3.99% of the vote share in the total votes polled in the 2009 Assembly elections.
