Not Able To Decide The Capital: Jagan Govt

Andhra Pradesh Government had written a letter to the Registrar of the Supreme Court asking for an urgent hearing of the Special Leave Petition filed against the verdict of AP High Court regarding the state capital.

The Advocate on Record for AP Government said the High Court opined that the state does not have legislative competence to take a decision on the capital location.

The letter mentions how the repealing of the CRDA act and enacting of the bills pertaining to the Decentralization (three capitals) have been stalled by the High Court.

“As a result of the judgment, neither the executive nor the legislative is able to decide upon the location of the capital. The same is gravely prejudicing the state,” the letter said seeking urgent listing of the SLP before an appropriate bench.

Interestingly, the same Government took several months to file the SLP after the High Court’s judgment is suddenly in a rush.
