The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Andhra Pradesh High Court has adjourned by three weeks a Public Interest Litigation challenging the government's decision to set up Registration Seva Kendras under a Public-Private Partnership model through G.O.Ms.No.396 dated June 30, 2026.
- The order mandates one RSK in each district headquarter, excluding Polavaram and Alluri Sitharama Raju districts, to be declared as Sub-Registrar Offices.
- The petitioner, a social activist represented by advocate Narra Srinivasa Rao, argued that outsourcing registration duties threatens the livelihoods of document writers and support staff and unconstitutionally delegates quasi-judicial functions to private vendors without legislative amendment.
- The petitioner also objected to a facilitation fee of up to ₹2,000 per document that private operators may charge.
What to watch next
- Outcome of the hearing after the three-week adjournment
- Whether the court grants interim relief against implementation of the PPP model
- Any state government response or amendment to the G.O. in the meantime
