HC allows Telangana Vaidya Garjana with riders

Hyderabad, January 22: Justice Gopalakrishna Tamada of the AP High Court today issued conditional orders to the organisers of Telangana Vaidyas Garjana for the conduct of a public meeting in Osmania Medical College premises tomorrow afternoon. The judge asked the Garjana organisers to ensure that only doctors, medicos and paramedics be allowed for the meeting after duly showing their ID cards to the police. The organisers also should ensure that the meeting should be held strictly from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and no provocative speeches made. The organisers should give an undertaking to the City Police Commissioner two

hours before the public meeting that they would abide by the directives of the High Court in this regard. They were asked to take measures that no untoward incident should take place during the meeting. Justice Gopalakrishna also asked them not to hold rallies either prior to or after the public meeting.

B Srikanth and others yesterday approached the AP High Court when they were denied permission for the Garjana by the city police. The Court had asked the City Police to reconsider the application. When the police once again refused permission, Garjana organisers moved a lunch motion today. In a related development, Justice Gopalakrishna permitted Telangana Advocates JAC to organise relay hunger strike in front of the AP High Court. However, the judge put a condition that speakers at the relay hunger strike camp should not make any provocative speeches and also should ensure that the general public is not put to inconvenience. Former APHC Bar Association president Satyam Reddy assured the court that there would not be more than four advocates on the relay hunger strike camp in accordance with the prohibitive orders in force in the High Court area.
