Hyderabad, March 14 : For the firsttime in its history, the AP High Court reportedly held a ballot among judges to decide whether or not to scrap the process to select 23 district sessions judges.
Sources in the High Court registry said the ballot was conducted on March 5, when the full court of 30 judges met to decide on the issue.
Sources said 17 judges voted for cancelling the process, and 13 were in its favour.
The full court had earlier met on November 17 and December 15 on the issue but the judges could not come to an agreement.
The process to cancel the recruitment notification has begun. Sources refused to say why the process was being cancelled.
Meanwhile, Mr K.V.N. Bhupal, a practising advocate of the High Court, has filed a writ petition challenging the action of the authorities in taking steps to cancel the notification. He contended that the action of the authorities violates Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution.
