In a major relief to the YSRCP, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Thursday, directed the state government to exercise its power to demolish the opposition party’s offices only if their construction is against public interest and cause public nuisance, among other reasons. The court issued these directions after hearing a bunch of petitions filed by YSRCP against government notices.
