SC refuses to stay tabling of Telangana Bill in Parliament



Supreme court today refused to stay the tabling of Telangana bill in Parliament. The Apex court was hearing a batch of petitions filed by L. Payyavulu Keshav, Telugu Desam Party MLA, and several others.
The petitioners said, the process of bifurcation of the State into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh was unconstitutional as it was in violation of the principle of federalism. They pointed out that no political party, with the exception of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, had given explicit consent for including Hyderabad in Telangana. They also added that introduction of the Bill would jeopardise the interests, life and liberty of the entire nine crore people in the State and the interests of the other States.
