Andhra Pradesh Intellectuals’ and Citizens’ Forum (APIC) president and former RTI Commissioner P. Vijay Babu has said that the Andhra Pradesh High Court (HC) judgment on Amaravati is open to ‘fair criticism devoid of any mala fide intentions’.
“The judgment should not be interpreted in a reckless manner as the court’s decision is based on law and the information available to the judges, who should not be assumed to have given the verdict without a thorough understanding of the matter. At the same time, freedom of expression can not be curbed in the guise of contempt of court,” Mr. Vijay Babu told teh media here on Saturday.
