AP High Court terms for ABVP meet

By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad, Jan. 22: The AP High Court, on Friday, granted permission to the Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) to hold its “Vidyarthi Garjana” by imposing certain restrictions at Nizam College grounds in the city on January 23.

The court restricted the participants from raising slogans prior to or after the meeting. The court allocated three hours — 3 pm to 6 pm — to conduct the meeting.

Justice Gopalakrishan Tamada was dealing with a lunch motion moved by the leaders of ABVP city wing, Mr Chenna Krishna Reddy and Mr T. Ramakrishna, challenging the city police commissioner’s order refusing permission to organise the meeting.

The court ruled that the meeting should be conducted under the strict vigil of the police and the police should allow ABVP members into the venue only after verifying their identity.

The court ruled that during the meeting the participants should not make any provocative speeches inflaming the sentiments of the people of other regions.

The court directed the organisers to give an undertaking to the city police commissioner 2 hours prior to commencement of the meeting that they would abide by the conditions imposed by the court.
