Advocates JAC files complaint against Gowda on separate HC row

The Telangana Advocates Joint Action Committee today lodged a complaint against Union Law Minister D V Sadananda Gowda alleging that he "failed" to keep his promise made in March last year that the Centre would expedite the process of establishing a separate High Court for Telangana.
A delegation of Telangana Advocates JAC led by its co-convenor K Goverdhan Reddy filed the complaint with Saroornagar Police here accusing Gowda of making false promise and sought registration of a case on charge of cheating.
Police made general diary entry of the complaint, but no case was booked.
"In the complaint the JAC accused that the promise of setting up of High Court has not been fulfilled by the Law Minister. However, no case has been booked in this connection...We are seeking legal advise," Deputy Commissioner of Police (L B Nagar Zone) Tafseer Iqubal told PTI.

The JAC in the complaint said that Gowda had visited Hyderabad in March last year during campaigning for MLC elections and promised that the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad (which covers states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) will be bifurcated immediately, but the decision was not implemented so far and the announcement was made to gain political mileage.
On Gowda yesterday saying that the Centre has no role in creation of a new High Court for Telangana, the JAC members demanded that he immediately resign from his post.
