Hyderabad, Dec 11:Tension prevailed at the Andhra Pradesh High Court as lawyers on Friday clashed over the formation of a separate Telangana state.
Trouble began after two groups of lawyers entered into an argument over the issue. One group opposed the division of the state, while lawyers from Telangana supported the central government's decision to initiate the process of formation of a separate state.
The high court premises reverberated with slogans of "Jai Telangana" and "Jai Andhra" as rival groups began attacking each other.
A few lawyers were injured. Police intervened to control the situation and closed the gates of the high court to prevent the entry of outsiders.
Lawyers from Telangana region had actively participated in the 11-day agitation for separate state.
