Protest continues in Telangana over allocation of judicial officers

New Delhi/Hyderabad : Acting Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana’s common high court, Justice Dilip Bhosale on Saturday met Chief Justice T.S. Thakur in New Delhi even as lawyers and judicial officers in Telangana intensified their protest.

Justice Bhosale is believed to have apprised CJ Thakur of the situation in Telangana in the wake of ongoing protest by lawyers and judges of subordinate courts over appointment of Andhra origin judges. The meeting also assumed significance in view of the increasing demand for bifurcation of HC of Judicature at Hyderabad, which is currently serving both Telugu states. The functioning of courts across the state remained paralysed due to boycott of courts by lawyers and the protest by judges and other judicial staff, who are on mass leave.The judges are protesting the suspension of nine of their colleagues by the high court this week. The high court took the action after the judges took out a rally to Raj Bhavan and submitted en masse resignations. The acting chief justice’s meeting with Thakur came a day before the lawyers’ meeting with the latter to demand immediate bifurcation of the high court, reports IANS
