A two-member bench of the AP High Court on Monday directed the authorities to maintain status quo on government funds for building or repairing churches. The bench of Chief Justice Anil R Dave and Justice C V Nagarjuna Reddy was hearing a writ petition filed by Tripuraneni Hanuman Chowdary complaining that the state government was engaging itself in the promotion of a religion contrary to court injunctions.
He listed 49 GOs, placing 150 Christian institutions as beneficiaries of state aid. The petitioner argued that there were no legislative sanction for the said expenditures and thus illegal. Listing various GOs between December 2001 and March 2009, he said the state was promoting Christian related activities in the guise of SC/ST welfare. He said the state was getting involved in a systematic manner for promoting church-related activities.
The petitioner had earlier filed a writ challenging the action of the government in granting funds for Christian pilgrimage. A two-member bench by an order dated July 22 had suspended the GO granting such allowances.

Congrats to Sri Hanuman Chowdary and to all Hindus.
Hope the judiciary acts judicially and not like how 'justice' Banerjee cooked up the 'instantaneous combustion' theory.
See: Govt plans three universities for minorities — The Times of India, Sunday 13 September 2009
"After allocating Rs. 25 crore (Rs.250 million) for two more campuses of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), the government is planning to set up three more universities for the country’s minorities, according to officials.
“Three universities primarily for the students of minority communities will be set up with a view to providing them better higher education,” a senior official of the minority affairs ministry told IANS, requesting anonymity since he is not authorised to speak to the media.
These universities will be set up in Mysore (Karnataka), Kishanganj (Bihar) and Ajmer (Rajasthan).
According to the official, “Fifty percent of the seats in these universities will be reserved for minority students to make them more competitive in the job market.”
To be set up on land owned by Waqf boards, these universities will provide education in all modern subjects along with theological teaching.
However, officials said the biggest problem in establishing such universities will be to overcome the legal hurdles for providing 50 percent reservation for students from minority communities.
“Our effort is to find a solution according to constitutional provisions so that the proposal doesn’t get stuck in legalities as it happened in the case of AMU.”
In a 1968 lawsuit, the Supreme Court of India scrapped the minority status of the AMU. Then prime minister Indira Gandhi restored the AMU’s minority status through legislation in 1981.
But in 2006, a division bench of the Allahabad High Court struck down the provision of the AMU Amendment Act, 1981. It rejected the central government’s plea for restoring the minority status of the AMU and scrapped 50 percent reservation for Muslim students.
This was challenged by the centre in the apex court, which is yet to take a decision on the matter.
Minority affairs ministry officials said the government was trying to work out a new model to overcome such legal hurdles.
According to this model, the “land for these universities will be given by the Waqf board and the government will set up a university on it. Since these universities will be for the minorities, reservation for 50 percent minority students will be justified”.
The draft has been prepared and will be sent to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD)."
The UPA seems to be bent upon Islamizing Bharat.
