No place has been decided for separate High Court. Chief Justice of High Court will take decision in consultation with Governor of A.P. Govt. of Telangana wants to setup in King Koti Palace. As per section 34 (2) of A.P. Reorganization Act. it is essential to give preference for the Lawyers to give their preference for the formation of separate Bar Council.
