Hyderabad, Feb. 9: The attorney-general, Mr Goolam E. Vahanvati, on Wednesday categorically stated that the Justice Srikrishna Committee report was not amenable to judicial review.
Mr Vahanvati told Justice L. Narasimha Reddy that the committee was not constituted under the Commission of Inquiries Act, and there was no scope to seek judicial review of its report.
He said that the formation of a new state is a political decision and “it is not in the purview of the court.”
Mr Vahanvati was assisting the Andhra Pradesh High Court in dealing with a petition which wanted the contents of a secret letter on law and order submitted along with Srikrishna committee report, to be made public.
The petition was filed by a former MP, Mr M. Narayana Reddy, who contended that the Centre was not entitled to take into account the secret note of the committee without first disclosing its contents to the public.

HC: Can SKC give secret file?
By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, Jan. 29: The AP High Court on Saturday asked the attorney-general, Goolam E. Vahanvati, to be present before the court on Wednesday to assist it in deciding whether Justice Srikrishna Committee was right in submitting a sealed cover report separately on law and order situation.
Justice L. Narasimha Reddy, while dealing with a petition filed by M. Narayana Reddy, a former MP from Nizamabad, told the counsel representing the Centre to inform the AG to appear before the court.
Mr Gandra Mohana Rao, counsel for the petitioner, found fault with the committee for submitting a report on law and order in the region to the Centre.
He added that the suggestion about the problem of Naxalism growing in Telangana was an insult on four crore people of the region. “The committee is supposed to consult people, make suggestions and keep them available to all so that all stakeholders will play their roles,” he said. He told the court that the petitioner had given a representation to furnish a copy of the sealed report, but authorities did not comply.
