Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Thursday issued orders revoking the suspension imposed on 11 Telangana judicial officers in June.
The High Court had suspended the officers including Telangana Judicial Officers Association president K. Ravinder Reddy and secretary V. Vara Prasad following their silent rally on June 26 against the provisional allocation of subordinate judicial officers between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana state. The suspension had triggered the strike of judicial officers and staff of Telangana state.
Around 200 judicial officers working in various capacities in courts across Telangana had gone on a mass leave on June 28 during Telangana Judges Ass-ociation’s agitation against appointment of the judges from AP to the Telangana courts.
Two days earlier, on 26 June, over 100 judges, under TJA’s banner, took out a procession and submitted a representation to the Governor against the appointment.
The suspension was brought to the notice of the Chief Justice of India by a delegation representing Telangana advocates.
The Supreme Court Chief Justice assured them that he would resolve the issue and asked them to withdraw the strike. The judicial officers later called on acting Chief Justice and informed him of their decision to rejoin duties.
