It said 16 judges shall cease to be the Judges of the High Court at Hyderabad and shall become the Judges of Andhra Pradesh High Court from January 1.

The judges are Justice Ramesh Ranganathan (presently working as Chief Justice of High Court of Uttarakhand), Justice Chagari Praveen Kumar, Justice Sarasa Venkatanarayana Bhatti, Justice Akula Venkata Sesha Sai, Justice Dama Seshadri Naidu (presently working on transfer as Judge, High Court of Kerala), Justice Mandhata Seetharama Murti, Justice UpmakaDurga Prasad Rao, Justice Talluri Sunil Chowdary, Justice Mallavolu Satyanarayana Murthy, Justice Gudiseva Shyam Prasad, Justice Kumari Javalakar Uma Devi, Justice Nakka Balayogi, Justice Telaprolu Rajani, Justice Durvasula Venkata Subramanya Suryanarayana Somayajulu, Justice KongaraVijaya Lakshmi and Justice Manthoj Ganga Rao.

It said that Justice R. Subhash Reddy, who was judge of the common High Court at Hyderabad and who has been elevated as judge of the Supreme Court, had exercised the option for allocation to High Court for the State of Telangana.

Telangana was carved out as a separate state from Andhra Pradesh in 2014.

The Constitution provides that there shall be a High Court for each state. The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act provides that there shall be a separate High Court for Andhra Pradesh and the one at Hyderabad shall become the High Court of Telangana.

The Supreme Court had earlier this year held that there is no embargo for the Competent Authority to issue a notification bifurcating the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad into the High Court of Telangana and the High Court of Andhra Pradesh.

The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti had been pressing for a separate high court of Telanagana.
