Hyderabad, Sept 19 :A division bench comprising Chief Justice Nisar Ahmad Kakru and Justice Vilas V. Afzulpurkar of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday issued notices to the Telangana Rastra Samiti chief, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Telangana Joint Action of Committee (political) convener, Professor Kodandaram, Telangana NGOs Association, state government and the Centre on a plea seeking a direction to prevent the indefinite general strike by all employees of Telangana region.
The bench was dealing with a petition filed by Mr P. Venkata Narayana, a practicing advocate from Visakhapatnam seeking a direction to declare the inaction of the government in not preventing the on going agitation by Telangana employees. Mr P.V. Krishnaiah, counsel for the petitioner said that the entire agitation aimed at the state government was misconceived as it was not for the state government to grant a separate state and in any event in light of Article 371 D, the question of granting a separate state did not arise. He contended that the government employees could not go on a strike on an issue not related to their service and therefore the call for strike was illegal. The bench directed the respondents to file their counter affidavits on the plea within a week.
