Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Monday dismissed a PIL seeking direction to the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments not to proceed with the waiver agricultural loans availed from banks.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar was hearing the plea by Adusumilli Jayaprakash, a former Telugu Desam MLA of Vijayawada.
The petitioner submitted that the TD, which came to power in the residuary state of AP, has promised a total waiver of loans not only to farmers, but also loans to self-help women groups called DWAKRA, and Telangana Rashtra Samiti, which came to power in Telangana state, has promised waiver of farmer loans up to Rs 1 lakh.
The Chief Justice asked whether the petitioner had the recommendations of the committee constituted by the AP for loan waiver. When the petitioner replied in the negative, the CJ said that no order can be passed with regard to the loan waiver either in AP or in Telangana and it is premature for the courts to intervene in the matter
