The AP High Court on Wednesday refused to entertain the plea of Maytas Infra Ltd to implead it as one of the respondents in a petition filed against the proposed Hyderabad Metro Rail Project.
A division bench comprising Justice V. Eswaraiah and Justice P. Swaroop Reddy while dismissing the petition said there was no need to allow the petitioner to implead in the case as the government has already cancelled the concessional agreement.
The petitioners complained that the elevated Metro Rail will pass adjacent to the Secretariat and Assembly buildings posing great danger in the light of Maoist and ISI-related activities in the state.
HC seeks info on wards
The AP High Court wants to know the stand of the government on reserving wards for Backward Classes in GHMC limits in the ensuing elections.
A division bench was dealing with a petition seeking a direction that categorisation of wards of Backward Classes has to be implemented in accordance with the categorisation of BCs in the state which was done in 1970 as per G O Ms No 1793.
AP Backward Classes (A-group protection cell) Welfare Association filed the petition. Mr A. Ramalingeswara Rao, counsel for the petitioner, said mere implementation of BC reservations in the local body elections would be of little help to the most backward classes.
Students plea rejected
The AP High Court dismissed a batch of writ petitions filed by students of private engineering colleges under the purview of JNTU seeking a direction to condone shortage of attendance to classes.
Mr Ratangpani Reddy, counsel for the university, said university rules mandates a student to have at least 65 per cent attendance. While agreeing with the contentions, the court dismissed all the petitions.
