Opinion: Does the SC really want to resolve Amaravati case?

The Amaravati case is currently going on in the Supreme Court of India, with the next hearing having been pushed to July. That is four months away, which is indeed quite a long time, considering the severity of the situation in Andhra Pradesh, which is now left without a capital.

Everything seemed to be fine for Andhra Pradesh until YS Jagan Mohan Reddy became the Chief Minister of AP in 2019, after which he had made the announcement of the three capitals. This created a lot of chaos in the state, with the farmers of Amaravati rallying for over a year in the state, and filing several cases against the government, in the Andhra Pradesh High Court. The HC last year ruled that Amaravati is the sole capital of the state. However, the government didn’t take this hearing seriously and took the case to the Supreme Court, which is now delaying it.

Andhra Pradesh is set for general elections next year, and judging by the pace at which the case is being heard at the court, it is safe to assume that the SC perhaps doesn’t want to give a judgement on the matter until the elections are done. This makes one wonder if the SC really wants to resolve the case, and whether the apex court is intentionally pushing the case to play it safe. Perhaps the court wants to pass its judgement based on who comes to power in 2024? This is one question that is likely to be answered next year.
