Chief Justice to meet upon Judicial bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh

Hyderabad: Chief Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta of the AP High Court will hold a meeting at his residence on Sunday to chalk out the plan for division of subordinate judiciary for Telangana and the residuary state of AP.

Sources said, the Chief Justice has invited Chief Secretary Dr P.K. Mohanty, principal secretaries of finance and home departments as well as the law secretary to participate in the meeting. As each state must have its own subordinate judiciary under Chapter-VI of the Constitution, and all the appointments of subordinate judicial officers are required to be made by the Governor of the concerned state, the Full Court has already decided to speed up the process. Sources said that following the resolution of the Full Court, the CJ decided to form a judges’ committee by giving proper representation to all the regions. Justice R. Subhash Reddy, Justice K.C. Bhanu, Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar and Justice Raja Elango are likely to be accommodated in the committee.
