Why does the Jagan government is at the receiving end almost every time in the High Court and the Supreme Court?
This question arises after the latest snub the YSRCP government got in the Supreme Court over G.O.1, which prohibits roadshows, rallies and meetings in the state.The state government had filed this petition in SC against the stay of the G.O.1 by the High Court till January 23. The SC today asked the state government to go back to the High Court Division Bench, which is hearing the case.
This direction could not have been unexpected. Becuase the HC stay is only till January 23, the SC would have seen no reason why it should interfere with the HC proceedings at this stage. But observers could not fathom is the reason why the Jagan government chose to go to the SC in such a hurry, while the case is still being heard by the HC.
The Chief Minster YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has got dozens of Advisors in the government. Who advises him on such matters is not known. Common sense would tell that there was no need to approach the SC at this stage because the HC is seized of the matter. By rushing to the Supreme Court, the State Government was only giving its critics an opportunity to mock its stupdity.
The SC’s refusal to hear the case at this stage or to suspend the stay granted by the HC speaks poorly of the Jagan government’s legal advisors.
