SC Accepts Petitions On AP Bifurcation

New Delhi: Today, Supreme Court of India accepted to inquire the petitions filed on Andhra Pradesh Bifurcation. Along with former AP CM Kiran Kumar Reddy, BJP leader Raghurama Krishnam Raju, 24 others filed petitions against the AP Bifurcation.

SC bench lead by CJI Jagdish Singh Khehar told that all the cases will be heard as a batch.
