Can they stress Governor for HC bifurcation?

TRS party MPs will meet Governor Narasimhan on Thursday to stress him to take initiative for bifurcation of the High Court. But, they are also aware that he also can’t do anything in this regard as the matter is in AP government’s hands.

According to the AP Reorganization Act, the existing common High Court will go to Telangana state once a High Court is arranged for Andhra Pradesh by the state government with the help of Central financial aid. Hence, the High Court bench categorically stated that the present combined High Court can’t be divided or can’t be relocated anywhere else in Hyderabad city. Neither AP nor Telangana states can set up a separate High Court in Hyderabad by dividing the existing one.The existing High Court can’t be allotted to Telangana state, until the AP state government set-up its own High Court somewhere within the state.

Even, the Centre also has endorsed the High Court’s ruling given on this particular issue and expressed its helplessness. Telangana state government, its ministers MPs and MLAs all are aware about this bitter fact. However TRS MPs are approaching the Governor to stress him on this issue, even after knowing that he can do nothing in this regard. Andhra Pradesh state government is planning to set up its High Court in its upcoming capital city Amaravati. It may take two or three years to set up the High Court in the city. Hence, TRS government can’t expect bifurcation of the existing High Court in its present term.
