The Hyderabad High Court has reportedly taken a serious view of the Telangana government's failure in filing its latest counter to the petition that has actually challenged the implementation of FAST (Financial Assistance for Students of Telangana) inspite of the repeated directions.
The court has minced no words saying this shows scant regard to its orders that is considered tantamount to the abandoning of constitutional obligations and conveyed to the Telangana advocate general that any such indifference will not be tolerated.
The division bench is examining the petition, which challenges the validity of the FAST scheme that envisages reimbursement of fee for only `native' Telangana students whose parents were born in the region before November 1, 1956.
The court wanted to explain how bringing such `native clauses' would not be seen as contrary to the federal spirit of our constitution and how such rules would help national integration. Wonder what KCR government has to say to this now.
