September 24, 2014 01:37 am | Updated 01:37 am IST - HYDERABAD:

A Division Bench of Hyderabad High Court comprising Chief Justice Kalyanjyothi Sen Gupta and Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday made it clear that fresh writ petitions had to be filed challenging the action of the A.P. State Government in dissolving all the Trust Boards of temples as the ordinance was replaced by the Act, after the Legislature had passed the Bill and Governor gave consent.

The bench was dealing with a batch of writ petitions filed by several members of Trust Boards challenging the ordinance amending the AP Charitable Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. Initially there were orders of statusquo.

On Tuesday, Advocate-General of AP P. Venugopal informed the Court that the Act was published after the Legislature approved the ordinance and Governor gave his consent. The bench declared that the present writ petitions were closed and the petitioners were at liberty to file fresh cases challenging the new Act.

Exam reforms

The same bench asked AP government to respond to the writ seeking implementation of examination reforms for students of Class IX and X from this academic year itself. The case was filed by Bommakanti Anand Kumar, an academician of Vijayawada. The court was told that after the National Curriculum Framework-2005 was accepted the State, issued GO 17, according permission for implementation of the exam reforms in all government, aided and private recognized schools.
