Telangana Gharjana allowed with Conditions

Legal Correspondent

HYDERABAD:

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed the police to permit the Osmania University Joint Action Committee of students to hold only a meeting on Sunday with stringent conditions like barring political party leaders and Maoists from addressing it.

The Joint Action Committee of students represented by Srikanth moved the High Court, aggrieved by the action of the police in not permitting its proposed ‘Vidyarthi Garjana’ (roar of the students) in support of Telangana. The City Police Commissioner had rejected permission citing the recent violent incidents.

The case was heard by Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy at his residence on Saturday evening. After hearing both sides for considerable time, the judge laid down several conditions.

The petitioners have to coordinate with the identified police officers to pinpoint the premises where the meeting will be held. Except students, no one shall be entitled to be at the meeting.

The students’ JAC shall file bonds and undertakings before the Police Commissioner by 11 a.m. to the effect that they will take responsibility for peaceful conduct of the meeting.

No one from political parties and Maoists will be allowed to address the meeting. No rallies or processions will be permitted. The meeting will be concluded by 6.30 p.m. The police have been given authority to regulate the entry and exit.
