Fresh notification to be issued by SEC
Justice M. Satyanarayana Murthy of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday cancelled the MPTC and ZPTC elections held on April 8 by declaring the notification issued for them by the SEC on April 1 as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Supreme Court directions.
The court ordered that the SEC issue a fresh notification for the elections and to reimpose the Model Code of Conduct.
Justice Murthy passed the order in respect of a writ petition filed by the Jana Sena Party, which wanted the SEC to issue a notification for filing nominations afresh, on the ground that the process was marred by violence, prevention of candidates from filing nominations and forceful withdrawal of the nominations.

Amaravati, May 16 : The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Sunday directed that rebel Narsapuram MP, K. Raghurama Krishnam Raju, be shifted from Guntur district jail to a private hospital.
After receiving a report from a lower court about the nature of MP s injuries, the high court took up the hearing and directed that he be shifted to the Ramesh Hospital.
Counsel of the rebel YSRCP MP told the court that its orders that doctors from Ramesh Hospital examine his injuries were ignored. He argued that CID officials met the petitioner when he was in custody, thus violating the law. After hearing the arguments, the high court directed that the MP be immediately shifted to the hospital.
