Hyderabad, Dec 15 : A division bench comprising Chief Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday granted the state government one day time to report its decision on whether junior, degree colleges and universities in Telangana region can reopen or not.
The bench was dealing with a government appeal against the order of a single judge who had suspended GO MS. No. 856. The government issued the GO on December 3, directing the closure of higher educational institutions in the 10 districts of Telangana in view of the unrest in the region.
Senior Counsel Mr Prakash Reddy appearing for the writ petitioners repeatedly pleaded with the court that there were no untoward incidents in the region justifying the continuation of the closure.
He pointed out that while incidence of consistent violence was being reported from certain regions (Andhra and Rayalaseema) the government had not taken any action. The advocate-general D.V. Seetharamamurthy informed the court that the High Power Committee was yet to take a decision and a decision was underway. The bench told the AG to give wide publicity in case a a decision to open the institutions was taken by Wednesday.
