The writ petition filed by the Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi managing trustee Gadde Tirupathi Rao and two others in the Andhra Pradesh High Court against the State government’s alleged attempt to shift the capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam under the guise of providing transit accommodation for the Chief Minister, the Ministers and senior officials in the Port City to facilitate review meetings and field visits there, was adjourned to a future date on January 2 (Tuesday).
The case was adjourned because Justice R. Raghunandan Rao recused himself from the hearing on the ground that advocate Sanjay Suraneni, who appeared for the petitioners, was previously his junior counsel.
As a consequence, Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur directed that the matter be listed before another Bench.
