Judicial officers and the advocates agitating for the bifurcation of Hyderabad High Court have rejected the appeals of the Chief Justice of India and the State Governor ESl Narasimhan to withdraw their strike.
A delegation of leaders of various judicial officers and the advocates organiations including the Federation of Bar Associations and State Judges Association and the Telangana Advocates Joint Action Committee met the Governor Narasimhan on Monday and made it clear that their agitation will continue till they demands were met.
later the leaders of JAC said that the governor assured them he will talk to the Hyderabad High Court Chief Justice Dilip Bhosle on the issue raised by them.
The judicial officers and the advocates were boycotting all the lower courts across Telangana demanding the revocation of suspension of the 15 lower court judges by the High Court and recalling of the provisional allocation of lower judges to Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Telangana judicial officers and the advocates were infuriated by the fact that High Court has allocated majority of Andhra origin judges to Telangana courts.
Earlier the Chief Justice of India T S Thakur had also made an appeal to call off the strike so he can intervene and solve the problems. While interacting with a delegation of Telangana advocates in New Delhi Sunday, the CJI had said that as long as the strike continues it will not be proper for him to intervene in the matter.
Telangana advocates as well as all the political parties, including ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti were demanding immediate bifurcation of the Hyderabad High Court.
