Andhra Pradesh, Telangana bar Associations to Launch over Vacant Judges Posts
Presently, the HC is working with only 30 judges, despite its sanctioned strength of 61. Starting from May, at least 3 judges will retire in next 12 months. The AP and Telangana HC bar associations have come together and decided to hold a general body meeting on February 27. The meeting will be held in the association hall at 1:45pm, said Pasam Sujatha, the secretary of Telangana HC Advocates Association. "Our demands are to ensure filling of the vacancies of the judges at the High Court and also at subordinate courts. We are concerned about no appointment a regular chief justice to the Hyderabad High Court. Added to this is the pressure being brought on subordinate courts to dispose of all pre-2012 pending cases", the notice read. AP HC Advocates Association President Challa Dhanamjaya and Telangana HC Advocates Association President Jalli Kanakaiah are expected to lead the movement to protect the judiciary from deliberate attempts aimed at making the institution defunct in the long run, said lawyers. The general body meet may chalk out an agitation strategy that may begin with the boycott of courts. It expands to various other forms of resentment, the lawyers said.
