VIJAYAWADA: The high court on Friday directed the petitioners to submit original version of ‘Chintamani’ book along with its English translated version to the court. The court also observed that the state government has ample administrative powers to regulate when something is not regulated.
Narsapuram MP K Raghu Ramakrishna Raju and some others moved the high court challenging the GO issued by the state government banning Chintamani stage play. The petitioners contended that the stage play is being exhibited since many decades and the government acted unilaterally by banning the play based on a representation by one community.
