Various groups and individuals have filed petitions against the government for imposing prohibitory orders in Amaravati villages under Section 144, implementation of Police Act 30 and the
manhandling of protesters including women by the police. Two more Public Interest Litigations (PILs) were filed in the High Court on Wednesday, 22 January, challenging the two Bills passed
by the Assembly on Monday, 20 January, to pave the way for developing three capitals – Amaravati, Visakhapatnam, and Kurnool. The government has declared that executive capital will come up
in Visakhapatnam and judicial capital in Kurnool, while Amaravati will serve as the legislative capital. 37 FARMERS FILE PETITION CHALLENGING MOVE A group of 37 farmers filed a petition
challenging the move. Rajadhani Rytu Parirakshana Samithi has also filed a PIL. The petitioners' lawyer Ambati Sudhakar informed the court that the government was making arrangements
for the shifting of the capital. However, the state Advocate General submitted that the Bills were still being discussed in the Legislative Council.
