A single-judge Bench of the High Court consisting of Justice Nyapathy Vijay directed the government pleaders to secure instructions on merits to enable further hearing of the writ petition filed by Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi managing trustee Gadde Tirupathi Rao and two others against the provision of accommodation for the Chief Minister, Ministers and senior government officials in Visakhapatnam city, which is said to be part of the government’s attempts to shift the capital out of Amaravati.
Justice Vijay told the Special Government Pleader (GP) C. Sumon and GP (Home) Maheswara Reddy that it was open for the State to obtain directions to get the matter listed before a Full Bench (FB) and file an interim application for it.
