VIJAYWADA : The high court on Wednesday directed the state govt to file counter affidavit in the petitions filed challenging the Land Titling Act. The court also expressed displeasure over agitation by advocates on the same issue and issued notices to three district bar associations for abstaining from court duties.
Former TDP MLA GV Anjaneyulu filed a PIL challenging the Land Titling Act. Responding to the petition, advocate general S Sriram told the high court that the Act has not come into effect yet and only preparations are being made to implement it. He said land survey is still going on across the state and it will take time for the Act to come into force.
Arguing on behalf of the petitioner, Y Balaji requested the bench headed by Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice R Raghunandan Rao to record the submissions of the advocate general. The bench observed that they have already recorded the submission of the advocate general, and a direction was given to district courts to accept the petitions.
Hearing the petitions filed challenging the boycott of court duties by advocates, the court expressed displeasure on Kadapa, Guntur, and Visakhapatnam bar associations for passing resolutions to abstain from duties.
