Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court Praveen Kumar Mishra on Tuesday refused to stay the process of establishing the headquarters of the proposed ‘Sri Sathya Sai District’ at Puttaparthi, saying that the “court cannot interfere at this stage as the official notification for the formation of the new district and identifying its headquarters has not been issued.”
During the hearing on the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the Hindupur All-Party Committee seeking a stay on the process of setting up the offices at Puttaparthi, and batting for Hindupur as the headquarters of the new district, Mr. Justice Praveen Kumar Mishra directed the Public Prosecutor to file an affidavit on the issue and posted further hearing to May 5, said president of the all-party committee Balaji Manohar.
