A Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court consisting of Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami and Justice N. Jayasurya dashed Sanchaita Gajapathi Raju’s hopes to take back control of the MANSAS Trust from P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju by rejecting the writ appeals filed by her against the order by Justice M. Venkata Ramana that the senior TDP leader should be restored as the trust chairman. With this, Mr. Ashok has the line cleared for him to continue as chairman of the historic trust. According to reliable sources, the court refused to grant an interim relief of suspension of the single-judge order on the ground that Mr. Ashok had already taken charge after the judgment. The court also dismissed a petition filed by Urmila Gajapathi Raju, daughter of Mr. Ashok ’s brother Ananda Gajapathi Raju, wherein she staked claim to be appointed chairperson of the MANSAS Trust.
