Sources from Hyderabad have stated that on Sunday, 130 judges in Telangana found themselves on the flipside of the judicial system as they marched the streets of Hyderabad in unison, demanding justice first for themselves.
The junior and senior civil judges and district judges from across 10 districts held a protest march through the city and threatened a mass resignation and they have demand that appointments of 200 Andhra Pradesh judges in Telangana's judiciary last month be scrapped and called it a 'step motherly’ treatment.
The judges association in a strongly-worded letter has stated that they have kept no vacancy in all cadres of Telangana while keeping vacancies in Andhra Pradesh and the youngest Direct Recruit Officers from Andhra Pradesh were intentionally allocated to Telangana to deprive the promotional prospects of Telangana judges, to rule Telangana judiciary and to protect their men and property.
Meanwhile the letter points out that the Andhra Pradesh government was directed by the High Court in May last year to identify location for a permanent high court and administrative and residential quarters for judges within six months.
