The High Court has said that the section-8 is in implementation in the states’ joint capital, Hyderabad. The High Court made these statements when a lawyer filed a petition to carry out a CBI enquiry on the cash for vote scandal and the implementation of section-8 in Hyderabad.

The High Court further questioned the lawyer what is the centre’s role in the implementation of section-8 and that as per the law, the centre need not issue directives to implement the section-8. The High Court also rejected the lawyer’s petition regarding the section-8 in Hyderabad and said that the section-5 is already in implementation in Hyderabad as per the state’s reorganization act and that even section-8 is in implementation in Hyderabad.

The court further asked the petitioner how he can claim that section-8 is not in implementation in Hyderabad and asked him to furnish evidences that support his claims. The High Court also stated that it is the Governor’s responsibility to implement the section-8 in Hyderabad.
