Andhra Pradesh High Court Rules Amaravati Sole Capital, Declares Petitions Infructuous
The Andhra Pradesh High Court declared over 120 writ petitions against the state's 'three capitals' plan infructuous following Parliament's amendment to the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014, legally establishing Amaravati as the sole capital. The court noted pending matters would be reviewed on November 20, considering upcoming Supreme Court appeals. The State government affirmed ongoing infrastructure development in Amaravati, while some petitioners urged withdrawal of appeals and raised concerns about incomplete capital works and land allotments to farmers.
