A.P. High Court Bench will be set up in Kurnool, asserts Minister
Andhra Pradesh Industries Minister T.G. Bharath Gupta has reaffirmed the government's commitment to establishing a High Court bench in Kurnool. He urged protesting advocates to remain patient while the legal and administrative processes are completed.
Why it matters
The location of judicial institutions is a sensitive political issue in Andhra Pradesh, often tied to regional development promises and local governance.
Reiterating the government’s commitment to setting up a bench of Andhra Pradesh High Court in Kurnool, Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath Gupta urged the advocates, who were protesting against the delay, to maintain restraint and not to resort to protests.
The Minister’s assertion comes against the backdrop of protests by a section of lawyers against the inordinate delay in the process and alleging that a camp circuit bench or a mobile bench would be set up rather than a permanent bench.
Participating in the ‘Two Years of Trust– Development and Welfare’ programme in the 10th Ward of Kurnool on Friday, Mr. Bharath made it clear that the High Court bench will be set up in Kurnool.
