The Supreme Court adjourned the hearing on GO No.1, issued by the Andhra Pradesh Government, petition.
On the 20th of January, the Apex Court adjourned the hearing, as the case is also pending with Andhra Pradesh High Court. The Top Court aslo ordered the High Court to conduct an inquiry on the 23rd of January against GO No. 1.
Meanwhile, it is known that the High Court has stayed the GO No. 1 brought by the AP government. However, the state government approached the Supreme Court challenging the High Court verdict. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court to lift the stay granted by the High Court. In this order, the Supreme Court took up the inquiry on Friday. Senior advocate Vaidyanathan made the arguments on behalf of the AP government.
He told the court that the vacation bench has no jurisdiction to inquire into the policy decisions of the state government.
It was contended that the vacation bench had passed the judgment within the scope which it did not have. He mentioned that the case was mentioned at 10:30 in the morning and the judgment was announced on the same day without hearing the arguments of the defendants. CJI DY Chandrachud, who recorded the AP government’s argument in his orders, said that they are not going into merits of the case. He said that he cannot interfere with the judgment of the High Court at present.
