The Andhra Pradesh High Court has struck down a review petition filed by the government on the Jagannath Vidya Deevena scheme. The High Court had earlier struck down government orders to deposit cash in mothers' accounts. The government has filed a review petition against the verdict. Advocate General Shriram argued on behalf of the government. Private owners, on the other hand, have moved to court to challenge government orders. Advocates Vijay and Venkataramana argued on behalf of the private owners. After hearing the arguments of both parties, Justice Kongara Vijaya Lakshmi passed the final judgment on the bench's review petition. It directed that the money given under the Vidya Deevena scheme should be credited to the educational institutions rather than in the accounts of the mothers. The Krishna Devaraya varsity Association had earlier filed a challenge petition on the deposit of funds in the mothers' account on behalf of the private owners. The High Court, which conducted the hearing, quashed the orders of the government. It remains to be seen how the AP government will move forward on the latest verdict.
