The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that all petitions challenging the state's three-capital scheme are now futile after Parliament granted Amaravati statutory status as the capital.
On Friday, the Andhra Pradesh High Court declared that all petitions filed against the former YSR Congress government's decision to establish three separate capitals for the state have become futile.
The ruling came after Parliament granted statutory status to Amaravati, solidifying its position as the official capital of Andhra Pradesh.
The court noted that the Parliament's action effectively settled the matter, leaving no legal ground for the petitions to proceed.
This decision confirms the state's commitment to the three-capital plan, with Amaravati as the central hub, while the other capitals will handle legislative and administrative functions.
