A Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court has upheld the interim suspension of the 51 special invitees appointed by the State government to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust Board and directed counsel to file petitions on the Ordinance promulgated in this regard. The Bench posted the matter for hearing after two weeks.
The Division Bench headed by Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Satyanarayana Murthy on Tuesday heard the Public Interest Litigations (PILs) filed against the issuance of the G.O. Rt. No. 568 and 569 by the Andhra Pradesh government.
Advocate Umesh Chandra P.V.G. , who appeared for one of the petitioners K. Lalith Kumar of the Hindu Janasakthi, submitted before the court that subsequent to the interim suspension of the G.O.s, the respondent State undertook an exercise in its legislative competence and an Ordinance was promulgated to correct the legal defect.
