The Andhra Pradesh government requested the High Court to remove the timelines or extend the time granted by it for developing the trunk infrastructure in Amaravati capital city by five years without having prejudice to the option to seek legal remedies keeping in view the impossibility of complying with the court directions in the given timeframe.
Chief secretary Sameer Sharma said in an affidavit that the application for removal of timelines or extension of time was filed to avoid giving an impression that the court directions are being defied even before the judgment dated March 3, 2022 is appropriately challenged or legal remedies worked out.
He stated that the process of development entails the revival or restarting of contracts for various works connected with the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS) which are incomplete and consequently revival agreements have to be signed with the existing contractors.
