Telangana judicial officials to rejoin duty today

July 06, 2016 04:06 am | Updated 04:32 am IST - HYDERABAD:

The judges of the subordinate courts in Telangana, who went on a mass casual leave, have decided to join duty on Wednesday. A unanimous resolution to this effect was adopted at an extraordinary general body meeting of the Telangana Judges Association held on Tuesday.

The resolution came after a marathon meeting held at a city hotel where the members expressed agony over 11 of their colleagues being suspended because they went on leave en masse from the last week of June till July 12 as per the collective decision of the association. “We decided to resume duties to facilitate the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice T.S. Thakur, Governor of A.P. and Telangana, E.S.L. Narasimhan and Acting Chief Justice of the High Court here, Justice Dilip B. Bhosale to take the matter forward,” said Nimmala Narayana, a spokesperson of the association and former president.

A note that was circulated said the resolution was passed keeping in view the appeal of the CJI, the Governor and Acting Chief Justice Dilip B. Bhosale. The judges resolved to request the High Court to revoke the suspensions and drop all further consequential proceedings. It wanted the High Court to treat the ‘leave’ period of the officers, that was rejected, as sanctioned.

The judges went on leave en masse in support of the agitating advocates who were demanding withdrawal of the provisional list of judicial officers hailing from Andhra Pradesh but allocated to Telangana, and for bifurcation of the High Court as per the provisions of the A.P. Reorganisation Act.
